Template:In category

Template documentation

This documentation is  transcluded from Template:In category/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

The {{In category}} template is designed for use on the  documentation subpages of templates. It produces a  hatnote that specifies into which category the documented template is categorised.

Basic usage is along the lines of {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion}}, which produces the following message:

It is possible to specify more than one category, e.g. {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion by user}} produces:

Up to five categories are supported.

To override the "and" with another conjunction, use the |and= parameter.
For example, {{In category|Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion by user}} would produce:

This template does nothing to change the functionality of the documented template: in particular, it will not actually apply the categories. Its purpose is simply to produce a note about what the documented template does, but you will need to implement the template's actual functionality separately.
