Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{In category}} template is designed for use on the documentation subpages of templates. It produces a hatnote that specifies into which category the documented template is categorised.

Basic usage is along the lines of {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion}}, which produces the following message:

This template will categorize into Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.

It is possible to specify more than one category, e.g. {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion by user}} produces:

This template will categorize into Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and Category:Candidates for speedy deletion by user.

Up to five categories are supported.

To override the "and" with another conjunction, use the |and= parameter.
For example, {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion by user|and=or}} would produce:

This template will categorize into Category:Candidates for speedy deletion or Category:Candidates for speedy deletion by user.

This template does nothing to change the functionality of the documented template: in particular, it will not actually apply the categories. Its purpose is simply to produce a note about what the documented template does, but you will need to implement the template's actual functionality separately.

Produces a note about which categories a template will categorize the pages it's applied to into.
