Template:Template category

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category is a "template category". It is used to categorise pages which are in the template namespace. The category is part of the Wikipedia project infrastructure and should not be used to categorise pages belonging to other namespaces, in particular project main namespace pages such as articles.
For this namespace Category:Wikipedia templates is the top (root level) template category.

How to add a template to this category

To add a template to this category, use the following code at the end of the template:

<noinclude>
[[Template:Template category|{{PAGENAME}}]]
</noinclude>

If you add this code at the end of the template, please make sure that the opening <noinclude> starts on the same line as the last char of the template code. Experience confirmed by experiments revealed that some templates became seriously defunct when that rule was violated.

Note page has hidden operative code when viewed directly.

[edit] Documentation

This template is intended to be used at the top of categories used for pages belonging to the template namespace (for example Category:Template namespace templates, see also Wikipedia:Avoid self-references).

A description must be given.
For the help you can:
- don't use help parameter and the template will automatically explain to readers how to add a template to the category concerned
- or specify your own help if you don't want the previous one (it can be an empty parameter if you don't want any help to be proposed).
