[[:Category:|Category:]]
 | This template is used on approximately 370,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
{{Cl|category name}}{{Cl|Category:category name}}{{Cl|category name|link text}}{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes}}{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type}}{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type|backlog=backlog threshold}}
{{category link}} or its alias {{cl}} produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl}} for a template. For example:
- {{Cl|Africa}} produces: Category:Africa
To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|this category}} produces: this category
To add a count of everything in the category, add the |count=yes parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes}} produces: Category:Africa ( 31 )
If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the |count_type= parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=all}} produces: Category:Africa ( 31 ) (default)
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=pages}} produces: Category:Africa ( 3 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=subcats}} produces: Category:Africa ( 28 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=files}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use |backlog=:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|backlog=20}} produces: Category:Africa ( 31 )
