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.
