== Creating new category trees ==<br />
* Avoid creating [[WP:OVERCAT|overly-specific categories]], especially those where all years contain a [[WP:SMALLCAT|trivial number]] of pages. These categories do little to aid the overall structure, causing more disruption and ambiguity than order. These may be [[WP:CFD|CFD]]'d, or even [[WP:C1|CSD]]'d, after some grace period for initial population; for example, if only several years have been created out of potentially several hundred, or if many years have been created but all contain a trivial number of pages.<br />
* Chances are, there is already an appropriate category structure in place, which should be considered before creating new trees/branches.<br />
* To create a new tree, copy an existing, similar tree in [[Module:Category described in year/conf]], and paste it in an appropriate spot in that table, following the same general table format, and updating any group-specific values.<br />
* If/when a new category tree is created, make sure that any red-linked parents categories are also created. You can find categories with red-linked parents [[:Category:Described in year unknown category|here]].<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
{{tlx|Category described in year}}<br />
<br />
No parameters are needed. Instead, the name of the calling category is used to determine its place in the tree.<br />
<br />
== Sitelinks ==<br />
* {{tl|Commons}} links are automatically produced if either the {{wdpl|373}} property and/or an "Other sites" sitelink to commons exist at Wikidata. See {{Q|Q9757156}} for both uses. Duplicate values are ignored.<br />
* {{tl|Wikispecies}} links are automatically produced if the appropriate sitelink exists at Wikidata. See {{Q|Q28467553}} for an example.<br />
<br />
== Testing ==<br />
{{tlx|Category described in year|Spiders described in 1901}}<br />
<br />
When placing this template in non-category space, i.e. for testing purposes, a category parameter is required.<br />
<br />
== Tracking categories ==<br />
* {{Category link with count|Described in year error}}<br />
* {{Category link with count|Described in year unknown category}}<br />
