Template:Tracking category
 | This template should not be substituted. |
This template is used to identify tracking categories, used to create lists of templates or pages using specific syntax or features by placing a notice on the category page and listing the category in an appropriate container category.
Usage[edit]
Paste the basic syntax, {{Tracking category}}, on category pages that you are designating as a tracking category.
- It will produce the message box shown below:
Template:Cmbox Template:Single namespace
The template places the category into Category:Tracking categories and causes the categorization to be hidden on its member pages.
- Parameter text=
Using |text= allows adding extra text to the template. The text will be shown in the visible (unfolded) part of the template.
- Parameter container=yes
An additional parameter, "| container =" allows further designation of the category, as a container category.
The syntax, {{Tracking category|container=yes}} produces:
Template:Cmbox Template:CatTrackTemplate:CmboxTemplate:Single namespace
When the parameter is used, the category is added to Category:Container categories as well as Category:Tracking categories. This option {{Tracking category}} is only for use in the category namespace, ns=14. Displaying the template on any page in another namespace will cause the following error message to appear:
 | The above template should only be transcluded in the Category namespace(s). |
This message also adds the page to pages with templates in the wrong namespace for cleanup.
| The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Tracking category/doc. (edit | history) Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages. Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template. |
