Template:Suppress categories/doc

This template strips categories from wikitext. For example, if passed the code " ", it will return only " ". It can be used to strip categories from templates as well; if passed the code " ", it will return the template output minus the categories.

The template properly handles categories escaped with the colon trick, categories whose names include invalid characters such as " ", and categories that are surrounded with nowiki tags. However, it does not support complex wikitext such as nested links or magic words like. Even so, it should still remove the vast majority of categories from any given wikitext.
