This is a simple helper template, to be used in other templates. It displays a link to a category if that category exists; otherwise it just displays plaintext in grey, to reduce the visual prominence of the unlinked text.<br />
<br />
Optional display text may be added as a second parameter.<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
This template is a variant of {{Tl|LinkCatIfExists}}, which does no greying.<br />
<br />
The greying was designed to improve the clarity of category header templates such as {{tl|EstcatContinentCentury}} on pages such as [[:Category:11th-century establishments in Asia]].<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
{{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|CategoryName|OptionalDisplayText}}<br />
<br />
;Simple usage: {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|CategoryName}}<br />
:Examples:<br />
:* {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|A non-existent category}} → {{LinkCatIfExists2|A non-existent category}}<br />
:* {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|United States}} → {{LinkCatIfExists2|United States}}<br />
<br />
;With optional display text: {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|CategoryName|DisplayText}}<br />
:Examples:<br />
:* {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|A non-existent category|Foo}} → {{LinkCatIfExists2|A non-existent category|Foo}}<br />
:* {{Tlx|LinkCatIfExists2|United States|USA}} → {{LinkCatIfExists2|United States|USA}}<br />
<br />
