Syntax

{{Categorybox|Category Name|Custom Title}}

Parameters

  1. Name of the category to query
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
