From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Summary
This template is similar to "Commonscat" but shows 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 categories (the name "show2" is easier to use than would be "show-n").
-
- Usage: {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2}}
- Usage: {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2 | topic3}}
- Usage: {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2 | topic3 | topic4}}
- Usage: {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5 | t6}}
See examples, further below. The template will state "Wikimedia Commons has media related to (category):..." and then display the first 2 topic names in bold/italics as "topic1 or topic2" (as links). The optional topics 3 or 4 would be on the next line ("or topic3 or topic4"). Optional topics 5 and 6 would be on a third line.
If the second topic is omitted, then the article name (the "PAGENAME") will be shown as the topic name of the 2nd Commons category in the box. Note that the topic names should exist as category names in Wikimedia Commons (edited using a Wikimedia login name).
