This template will render a link to a category. If the category has a main article and it is specified, a link to the article will be rendered instead and the link to the category itself will turn into a {{Superlink}}.
This template does not actually categorize an article under the specified category, for that, use the {{Categorizer}} wrapper.
Parameters
- category: The name of the category to link to (case sensitive, defaults to nothing displayed)
- catlabel: An optional text to display on the link to the category (case sensitive, defaults to category or to "list all" if it is a superlink)
- article: A main article for the category (case sensitive, pushes the link to the category into a superlink)
- label: An optional text to display on the link to the main article (case sensitice, defaults to article)
Note: The link to the category will be pushed into a superlink if either article or label or both are specified.
Note: The label may be used to optionally display custom text on the article link, but may also be used instead to remove the link and render text only.
Note: The catlabel may be used to optionally display custom text on the category link, but the latter is not optional, unlike article.
Syntax
{{categorylink |category= |catlabel= |article= |label= }}
Examples
Common use includes both the category and article parameters:
{{categorylink|category=Quetches|article=Quetch}}
Both the text of the category link and article link may be customized, like this:
{{categorylink |category=Quetches |catlabel=click here |article=Quetch |label=Resident }}
A different use includes only the category parameter, which would only render a link to the category itself like this:
{{categorylink|category=Grobos}}
And again the text of the category link may be customized, like this:
{{categorylink|category=Grobos|catlabel=Elephants}}
And even a third use includes the category parameter, combined not with the article but label parameter, which renders as the first example above but without a link on the article:
{{categorylink|category=Quetches|label=Quetch}} {{categorylink|category=Quetches|label=Quetch|catlabel=members}}
To summarize:
- the catlabel parameter is used to display an optional text on the category link
- the label parameter is used to display an optional text on the article link if it is specified, or instead if not
- if an article is specified or a label replacement, the category link is pushed into a superlink behind it.
