Template:Category see also/doc

Usage

Usual syntax

{{Category see also|List of one or more category names}}

Parameters:

• Most are pipe character-separated category page names; up to 40 pages
• LABEL=Some other phrase... → replaces defaults: "See also category:" or "See also categories:" (prefix messages).

The phrase is normally italicized. When defining LABEL any wikimarkup or HTML text will be accepted.

You may assume a space before the first category link.

• |project=: Any valid interwiki or interproject prefix from de:, fr:, es: access to other language Wikipedias to cross-sister wiki's using sister projects abbreviations such as B:, Q:, S:, v: etc., and, where applicable, both interlingual and cross-project links can be rendered as follows:

|project=es for linking categories on es.wikipedia.org, the Spanish-language Wikipedia, or

|project=de:V for linking categories on de.wikiversity.org, the German-language Wikiversity, or

|project=fr:B for linking categories on fr.wikibooks.org, the French-language Wikibooks.

• The template asks a block-level element, effectively forming its own paragraph; it may not be used inline in text.

Simple examples

1. {{Category see also|A}} →
   See also: Category:A.
2. {{Category see also|A|B}} →
   See also: the categories A, and B.
3. {{Category see also|A|B|C}} →
   See also: the categories A, B, and C.

example w/default message

{{Category see also|aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee}} →

See also: the categories aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, and eee.

example w/LABEL parameter option

{{Category see also|LABEL=See this list to evaluate whether one would be a better choice of|aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee|fff}} →

See this list to evaluate whether one would be a better choice of: the categories aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, eee, and fff.

Pragmatic example

Bobsledding and luge are Olympic sports properly subcategorized under 'sledding', so shouldn't appear (strictly speaking categorically) as sub-categories of 'winter sports'. However, a lay reader using categories might expect to find them there. So to show their presence and guide proper selections for editors choosing categories, one can include the sub-sub-categories as a see also annotation on the Category:Winter sports page.

{{Category see also|Luge|Bobsleigh}} →

See also: the categories Luge, and Bobsleigh.
