Sjabloon:Tracking category/doc

This template is used to identify tracking categories, used to create lists of templates or pages using specific syntax or features by placing a notice on the category page and listing the category in an appropriate container category.

Usage

Paste the basic syntax, {{Tracking category}}, on category pages that you are designating as a tracking category.

It will produce the message box shown below:

80px	This is an administrative tracking categoryIt is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.

The template places the category into Category:Tracking categories and causes the categorization to be hidden on its member pages.

An additional parameter, "| container =" allows further designation of the category, as a container category.

The syntax, {{Tracking category|container=yes}} produces:

80px	This is an administrative tracking categoryIt is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.

This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories.

When the parameter is used, the category is added to Category:Container categories as well as Category:Tracking categories. Template, {{Tracking category}} is only for use in the category namespace, ns=14. Displaying the template on any page in another namespace will cause the following error message to appear:

When the error message is displayed, the page is also added to the pages with templates in the wrong namespace tracking category.
