Template:Category

This template is i18n-ready, which means it is easy to localize for different languages. Please see I18n & l10n for templates to learn more.

CAUTION: Terraria Wiki code is complex!!!
If you want to use this code on another wiki, wiki.gg staff are not able to assist you.
Please consider picking a different wiki to adapt code from, or making your own templates!
Remember that content on a wiki is more important than fancy formatting.

Documentation The documentation below is transcluded from Template:Category/doc. (edit | history)

[purge]

This template is roughly an i18n-ready version of the [[Category:]] syntax. It is intended to be used in template documentation for easier porting to language wikis.

Usage

{{ category | <category name (English)> | <sort key> (optional) | lang = <language code> (optional) | link = y }}

First unnamed parameter

Name of the category.

Second unnamed parameter

Sort key for the page. The blank sort key is supported (for that, the parameter value must consist only of whitespace). If link parameter is set, this will be the display text (see the example below).

lang

Target language, defaults to {{lang|}}.

link

If set, will output category link instead.

Example

code	output
{{ category | data templates | templates }}	wikitext: [[Category:Data templates|templates ]] (add the page to Category:Data templates, with "Templates" as the sort key)
{{ category | data templates | link=y}}	Category:Data templates
{{ category | data templates | templates | link=y}}	templates

Notes

This template will try to localize $1 (the category name) and $2 (the sort key) in the following way:

1. If $lang is a language within the main wiki, then the language code will simply be appended to $1 (including a slash character), and $2 will not be localized.
2. If $lang is a language with its own wiki:
   1. $1 and $2 will be translated according to the glossary defined in Template:Category/db-<lang>, e.g. Template:Category/db-zh for Chinese.
   2. If there is no definition in the glossary, $1 and $2 will be translated via {{tr}}.

Note that a language's glossary is loaded once per page. Subsequent template calls will reuse it, even if their $lang parameter is different.
