This template offers a multiple choice for defining the race category of a (character) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

• The selected race from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
  1. quetch
  2. grobo
  3. rabbibunny
  4. sphero
  5. sup
  6. franco
  7. wannie
  8. mosquibee
  9. gloum
  10. creature*
  11. any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown
• label: *) When choosing "creature", which is generic, a custom label may be used to display between brackets (optional, case sensitive)
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: more category values should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{race|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{race|quetch}}

Quetch ^{[list all]}

Or this:

{{race|rabbibunny}}

Rabbibunny ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{race|RabbiBUNNY}}

Rabbibunny ^{[list all]}

When choosing a creature, a more specific label may optionally be given as well, but it is case sensitive:

{{race|creature|label=elf}}

Creature (elf) ^{[list all]}

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

{{race}}
{{race|}}
{{race|human}}
{{race|none}}
{{race|alien}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

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

{{race|quetch|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Quetches. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
