模板:Tracking category/doc

Usage

Basic syntax

Use the basic syntax {{Tracking category}} on a category page to designate it as a tracking category. This template places the category into Category:Tracking categories and Category:Hidden categories, causes the category to be hidden on its member pages, and produces the following message box on the category page:

This is a tracking category.

It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.
• These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
• Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Note

This template is only for use in the category namespace (ns=14). Using it on any page in any other namespace will add the page to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace and produce the following error message box on the category page:

Parameters

container

Use to further designate the category as a container category.

The syntax {{Tracking category|container=yes}} adds the category page to Category:Container categories and produces:

This is a tracking category.

It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.

• Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

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

unnamed parameter 1

When used with |container=yes, this parameter will add content below the container category message box. When used without |container=yes, this parameter is ignored.

The syntax {{Tracking category|container=yes|This content is added below the container category message box.}} produces:

This is a tracking category.

This content is added below the container category message box.

Due to the current coding of the template this is limited to a single paragraph with SPAN style formatting.

category

Used to prevent the addition of Category:Tracking categories and optionally add a different category instead.

The syntax {{Tracking category|category=no}} will prevent a category page from being added to Category:Tracking categories.

The syntax {{Tracking category|category=[[Category:Some other category]]}} will add the category page to Category:Some other category instead of Category:Tracking categories.
