<!-- PLEASE PLACE CATEGORIES WHERE INDICATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

{{tl|Template category}} should be placed at the top of categories that contain template pages and their related subcategories.

{{TOC limit|3}}

== Usage ==

===Full syntax===
<pre style="overflow:auto;">
{{Template category
| type = 
| topic = 
| description = 
| onright = 
| container = 
| help = 
}}
</pre>

===Parameters===
The template may be used without any parameters, i.e. as {{tc|Template category}}.
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=With no parameters |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
{{Template category}}
{{Hidden end}}

The following, however, may be used to make the template more informative:

====''type''====
<hr/>
: Setting ''type'' to one of the following values adds a preset note as to which type of template the category (but not necessarily its subcategories) is meant to contain. The values are:
:: '''{{hlist |ambox |campaignbox |conversion |external link |formatting |function |<s>message</s> |meta |navbox|navigation |sidebar |stub |sub |timeline |userbox}}'''
: If ''type'' is set to something other than one of these values, the default "The pages listed in this category are templates" note appears unmodified.
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''type'' alone |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>{{Template category |type=sidebar}}</pre>
{{Template category |type=sidebar}}
{{Hidden end}}
: Further examples of ''type'''s output appear in the examples below.

====''topic''====
<hr/>
: Adds a default description ending "...relating to ''topic''", where ''topic'' is usually a [[wikilink]] to the main article associated with the category (e.g. [[United States]] for the [[:Category:United States templates]]).
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''topic'' alone |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>{{Template category |topic=the [[United States]]}}</pre>
{{Template category |topic=the [[United States]]}}
{{Hidden end}}
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''type'', ''topic'' |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>{{Template category |type=infobox |topic=the [[United States]]}}</pre>
{{Template category |type=infobox |topic=the [[United States]]}}
{{Hidden end}}

====''description''====
<hr/>
: Use this if a customised description is needed instead of&nbsp;– or, if ''topic'' also used, to follow&nbsp;– the default description above.
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''type'', ''topic'', ''description'' |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre style="overflow:auto;">
{{Template category
| type = navbox
| topic = [[China]]
| description = <br />{{small|For templates relating specifically to the [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic of China (PRC)]] or the current [[Republic of China|Republic of China (ROC, "Taiwan")]], see, respectively, {{c|People's Republic of China templates}} and {{c|Republic of China (Taiwan) templates}}.}}
}}
</pre>
{{Template category
| type = navbox
| topic = [[China]]
| description = <br />{{small|For templates relating specifically to the [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic of China (PRC)]] or the current [[Republic of China|Republic of China (ROC, "Taiwan")]], see, respectively, {{c|People's Republic of China templates}} and {{c|Republic of China (Taiwan) templates}}.}}
}}
{{Hidden end}}
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''description'' alone |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>{{Template category |description=This text is supplied by the ''description'' parameter.}}</pre>
{{Template category |description=This text is supplied by the ''description'' parameter.}}
{{Hidden end}}

====''onright''====
<hr/>
: Use this to place right-aligned boxes beside the template such as {{tl|Portal}} (to provide link/s to related portal/s), {{tl|Commons category}} (to provide a link to the same or a similarly-named Commons category), etc. If more than one box is included, ensure the widest one appears first (see example below) otherwise overlapping may occur.
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''topic'', ''onright'' |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>
{{Template category
| topic = the [[United States]]
| onright = {{Commons category|United States|the United States}}{{Portal|United States}}
}}
</pre>
{{Template category
| topic = the [[United States]]
| onright = {{Commons category|United States|the United States}}{{Portal|United States}}
}}
{{Hidden end}}

====''container''====
<hr/>
: Set ''container'' as {{tla|If affirmative|"true", "yes", etc}} to identify the category as a [[Wikipedia:Container category|container category]], i.e. a category meant to contain only subcategories. A note requesting that no templates are added to the template category is then included.
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title=''container'' alone |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>{{Template category |container=true}}</pre>
{{Template category |container=true}}
{{Hidden end}}

: An alternative to using ''container'' is to place {{tl|Container category}} after the {{tl|Template category}} template:
{{Hidden begin |showhide=left |title={{braces|Container category}} following {{braces|Template category}} |bodystyle=font-size:105%;}}
<pre>
{{Template category
| type = ''type''
| topic = ''[[topic]]''
| description = This text supplied by the ''description'' parameter.
}}
{{Container category}}
</pre>
{{Template category
| type = ''type''
| topic = ''[[topic]]''
| description = This text supplied by the ''description'' parameter.
}}
{{Container category}}
{{Hidden end}}

====''help''====
<hr/>
: Use this to replace the default instructions as to how to add a template to the category ("Further template category notes" section) or, if set [[Template:If negating|negatively]], to remove them.
