' or its alias ' produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl}} for a template. For example:

To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:

To add a count of everything in the category, add the |count=yes parameter:

If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the |count_type= parameter:

If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use |backlog=:

This template creates a link to a category and optionally displays the page count. If the page count exceeds a backlog threshold, it will be highlighted.
