Template:Badcat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Before adding controversial categories, such as [[:Category:{{{cat}}}|{{{cat}}}]], to articles, such as [[{{{article}}}]], please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category. The addition of a category to an article is considered a claim that the subject of the article is what the name of the category would suggest, and the article needs to contain information that backs your claim up, otherwise it will most likely be removed by another user.

Template usage notes
  • See documentation.
  • Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
  • test5 optionally takes two parameters:
  1. The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided).
  2. The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning.
  • Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
  • Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Badcat}} rather than {{Badcat}}.
