 | This template is used on approximately 310,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template is for use on category pages (in the Category: namespace), producing a hatnote describing the category. It takes a single parameter – the category description – producing the hatnote:
followed by that description. Any spaces surrounding the parameter are removed, and a space is inserted before it. It should be worded so as to make the result a complete English sentence. A period (full stop) will be added to the end if the parameter does not already end with a period. The hatnote is indented and on a new line (technically, in a new <div>).
{{Category explanation|articles related to [[foo]]}} produces:
{{Category explanation|articles related to [[foo]].}} produces:
{{Category explanation|articles related to [[foo]]:}} (undesirably) produces:
{{About cat}}{{Cat about}}{{Category about}}{{Catexp}}{{Cat exp}}{{Category description}}{{Cat description}}|
