Documentation for the above template (sometimes hidden from view).
This is an automated template in the likes of {{Seriesbox}} that creates a floating list of member pages of a category.
Real-world examples
- The Category:Graphics API have one defined, which is then transcluded unto the various member pages through transclusion using
{{:Category:Graphics API}}
.
Related templates
- {{Categorybox}} - Automated template for use with defined categories.
- {{Categorybox/custom}} - Custom template for use with categories or situations that require manual definition (functions more similar to {{Seriesbox}}).
- {{Categorybox/row}} - Row template used by both {{Categorybox}} and {{Categorybox/custom}}.
Syntax
{{Categorybox|Category Name|Custom Title}}
Parameters
- Name of the category to query
- Custom title of the sidebar (the category name will be used if left blank).
- Note that the custom title will still automatically link to the category page.
- Custom options, of any of the following:
subcategoriesonly
- Limits the query to only fetch the actual subcategories defined below a main category. This is used to circumvent the behavior of Semantic MediaWiki of returning pages in subcategories as if they belonged in the parent category itself.
Usage
{{Categorybox|Graphics API}}
creates the right-aligned sidebar here below, by querying Category:Graphics API.
{{Categorybox|Games in pre-alpha state|Example #2}}
adding a second parameter will set that text as a custom title.
- In this example it queries Category:Games in pre-alpha state.
