Template:Ucat/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template adds the current user page to as many as ten user categories. This template may be used directly on your user page or following a user template. This template will only declare categories in the User namespace (NS:2) (other than User:UBX), and will not declare categories in other namespaces. This template may be used with Template:Userbox to create userboxes that only declare user categories in the User namespace.

Use

[edit]

To use this template, place the following line of Help:Wikitext after a user template or alone on your user page:

{{ucat|usercat01|...|usercat10|nocat=}}

where:

  • usercat01|...|usercat10 are the base names of up to 10 user categories.
  • nocat= is the optional category declaration switch:
    • nocat=false declare the user categories if in User namespace (NS:2) except User:UBX. (default)
    • nocat=true do not declare any categories.

Caution: If Template:Ucat is used after a userbox template in the User namespace (NS:2) other than User:UBX (most commonly your own user namespace), it must be enclosed in "includeonly" brackets, e.g. <includeonly>{{ucat|Wikipedian cyclists}}</includeonly>
This prevents Template:Ucat from including the user template itself in the category or categories.

Examples

[edit]

The Wiki markup {{ucat|Wikipedians interested in chess}} adds the user page to the following category:

The Wiki markup {{ucat|Canadian Wikipedians|Wikipedian engineers|Wikipedians in Alberta‎}} adds the user page to the following categories:

The Wiki markup {{ucat|Wikipedian lawyers|Wikipedians interested in politics|nocat=true}} does not declare any categories.
