Template:Category explanation/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category explanation. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is for use on category pages (in the Category: namespace), producing a hatnote describing the category. It takes a single parameter – the category description – producing the hatnote:
- This category is for
followed by that description. Any spaces surrounding the parameter are removed, and a space is inserted before it. It should be worded so as to make the result a complete English sentence. A period (full stop) will be added to the end if the parameter does not already end with a period. The hatnote is indented and on a new line (technically, in a new <div>).
