This template offers the choice to define the magical category of a (character) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

• Whether or not magical (no parameter name and value is case insensitive):
  1. no
  2. yes
  3. any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: eventhough the name of this template does suggest a default value of "yes", leaving the parameter empty or out resolves to "unknown" instead.

Syntax

{{magical|value}}

Examples

Common use includes the only parameter with either values "yes" or "no":

{{magical|yes}}
{{magical|no}}

Yes ^{[list all]}

No ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{magical|YES}}

Yes ^{[list all]}

You may leave "magical" undefined (which would raise the Characters of unknown magic maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:

{{magical}}
{{magical|}}
{{magical|yes}}
{{magical|true}}
{{magical|aye, it's magic!}}
{{magical|whatever}}
{{magical|nope?}}
{{magical|false}}
{{magical|null}}
{{magical|zero}}
{{magical|powerless}}
{{magical|not}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{magical|yes|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Magical Characters. This feature works on all valid values.
