{{Tl|Cl}} ("[C]ategory [l]ink") produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl|Tl}} for a template. For example:<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa}} produces: {{Cl|Africa}}<br />
<br />
To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|this category}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|this category}}<br />
<br />
To add a count of everything in the category, add the {{Para|count|yes}} parameter:<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes}}<br />
<br />
If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the [[MW:Help:Magic words#PAGESINCAT|{{Para|count_type}} parameter]]:<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}all}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=all}} ('''default''')<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}pages}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=pages}}<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}subcats}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=subcats}}<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}files}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=files}}<br />
<br />
If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use {{Para|backlog}}:<br />
: {{Tlf|Cl|Africa|count{{=}}yes|backlog{{=}}20}} produces: {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|backlog=20}}<br />
<br />
