Documentation The documentation below is transcluded from Template:Category/doc. (edit | history)
[purge]
This template is roughly an i18n-ready version of the [[Category:]]
syntax. It is intended to be used in template documentation for easier porting to language wikis.
Usage
{{ category | <category name (English)> | <sort key> (optional) | lang = <language code> (optional) }}
- First unnamed parameter
Name of the category.
- Second unnamed parameter
Sort key for the page. The blank sort key is supported (for that, the parameter value must consist only of whitespace).
- lang
Target language, defaults to {{lang}}.
Notes
This template will try to localize $1
(the category name) and $2
(the sort key) in the following way:
- If
$lang
is a language within the main wiki[a], then the language code will simply be appended to$1
(including a slash character), and$2
will not be localized. - If
$lang
is a language with its own wikiCite error: Invalid<ref>
tag; refs with no name must have content:$1
and$2
will be translated according to the glossary defined in Template:Category/db-<lang>, e.g. Template:Category/db-zh for Chinese.- If there is no definition in the glossary,
$1
and$2
will be translated via {{tr}}.
- Note that a language's glossary is loaded once per page. Subsequent template calls will reuse it, even if their
$lang
parameter is different.
