New page

{{documentation subpage}}

The {{tl|template category}} template should be placed at the top of categories that contain only template pages and their related subcategories.

__TOC__
===Usage===
====Full syntax====
<pre style="padding-left:2.0em; font-size:95%;">
{{template category |type= |topic= |description= |portal= |help= }}
</pre>

====Parameters====
The following parameters that are all optional, may also be used:

;''type'' : Adds a note as to which type of template the category (but not necessarily its subcategories) is meant to contain, e.g.
<pre style="padding-left:2.0em; font-size:95%;">
{{template category |type=navbox}}
</pre>
:Currently, setting ''type'' to one of eleven values produces a preset note. The values are:
{{center top}}'''ambox{{·}} campaignbox{{·}} conversion{{·}} external link{{·}} formatting function{{·}} infobox{{·}} meta{{·}} navbox{{·}} stub{{·}} timeline{{·}} userbox{{center bottom}}
: If ''type'' is set to something other than one of these values, the default message "The pages listed in this category are meant be ''type'' templates." appears.

;''topic'' : Adds the default description "Templates relating to ''topic''.", where ''topic'' is usually a wikilink to the main article associated with the category (e.g. [[United States]] for the category {{c|United States templates}}). See [[#Example 1|Example 1 below]].

;''description'' : Use this if a customised description is needed instead of (or, if ''topic'' also used, to follow) the default description above. See [[#Example 2|Example 2 below]].

;''portal'' : Adds a {{tl|portal}}-style link to the right of any ''topic'' and/or ''description'' text. See [[#Example 3|Example 3 below]]

;''help'' : Use this to provide customised instructions rather than the default explanation as to how to add a template to the category.

;''container'' : Use this if the category is a [[:Category:Container categories|container category]] by adding {{para|container|yes}} to the template.
