[[:Category:|Category:]]
 | This template is used on many pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
- {{Cl|category name}}
- {{Cl|Category:category name}}
- {{Cl|category name|link text}}
- {{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes}}
- {{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type}}
- {{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type|backlog=backlog threshold}}
{{Category link}} or its alias {{Cl}} produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl}} for a template. For example:
- {{Cl|Africa}} produces: Category:Africa
To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|this category}} produces: this category
To add a count of everything in the category, add the |count=yes parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the |count_type= parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=all}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 ) (default)
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=pages}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=subcats}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=files}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use |backlog=:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|backlog=20}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
