Template:Wikipedia category/doc

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}} {{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

Usage

This template should be used at the top of categories that are needed for Wikipedia administrative purposes, but are not part of the encyclopedia itself, for example Category:Wikipedia administration.

Adding |container=yes will produce a message similar to {{Container category}} and add the page to Category:Container categories if the page is the category namespace. Categorising into Category:Container categories is disabled in Category:Container categories itself with |container_category=no.

Adding |hidden=yes to the template will hide the category, produce a message similar to {{Hidden category}} and add the page to Category:Hidden categories if the page is the category namespace.

Adding |tracking=yes to the template will produce a message similar to {{Tracking category}} and add the page to Category:Tracking categories if the page is the category namespace. Categorising into Category:Tracking categories is disabled in Category:Tracking categories itself and Category:Contents with |tracking_category=no.

Adding |description=text will add a new paragraph under the tracking category message. Replace "text" with a short description of the tracking category. (A longer description can be entered after the parameters or outside this template.)

Adding |shortcut=(shortcut name) will include a {{shortcut}} notice box inside the message box. This category template will accomodate one shortcut.

Text entered after the parameters will appear below the message box under the heading Description:.
