 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Wikipedia category. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 24,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
Usage[edit]
This template should be placed at the top of categories used in the maintenance of Wikipedia rather than as part of the encyclopedia – for example, at the top of Category:Wikipedia administration.
