Template:CategorizeManual/Documentation

Template:CategorizeManual is used to generate boilerplate text on categories that are populated via Templates.

Usage

It has two mandatory string parameters and one optional parameter.

• 1 must be a valid category. The broken bar character (¦) can be used to refine sorting.
• 2 is a string of descriptive text, explaining what is on the page.
• 3 can be used to override the default source suggestion.

It also has two optional named parameters:

• hidden (default: false) — If set to true, invokes the __HIDDENCAT__ magic word.
• key (default: {{PAGENAME}} — Sets the sort key.

Return

When invoked from the Category namespace, the category is added to the category specified by the first parameter.

{{CategorizeManual|template|things and stuff}} returns:

Articles should not be added to this category manually, only via special configured Categorization Templates.

{{CategorizeManual|content|sentient intelligences|{{Template|Infobox Character}}}} returns:

Articles should not be added to this category manually, only via Template:Infobox Character.
