Usage

Usual syntax

{{Category see also|List of one or more category names}}

Parameters

  • Most are pipe character-separated category page names; up to 40 pages can be included.
  • LABEL=Some other phrase... → replaces the default message prefix: "See also".
    The phrase is normally italicized. When defining LABEL any wikimarkup or HTML text will be accepted. The template will add a colon at the end of the phrase.
  • |project=: Any valid interwiki or interproject prefix from de:, fr:, es: access to other language Wikipedias to cross-sister wikis using sister projects abbreviations such as B:, Q:, S:, V: etc. Where applicable, both interlingual and cross-project links can be rendered as follows:
    • |project=es for linking categories on es.wikipedia.org, the Spanish-language Wikipedia, or
    • |project=de:V for linking categories on de.wikiversity.org, the German-language Wikiversity, or
    • |project=fr:B for linking categories on fr.wikibooks.org, the French-language Wikibooks.
  • The template creates a block-level element in the HTML, effectively forming its own paragraph; it may not be used inline in text.

Simple examples

  1. {{Category see also|A}} →
    See also: Category:A
  2. {{Category see also|A|B}} →
    See also the categories A and B
  3. {{Category see also|A|B|C}} →
    See also the categories A, B, and C

Example with default message

{{Category see also|aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee}} →
See also the categories aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, and eee

Example with LABEL parameter option

{{Category see also|LABEL=See this list to evaluate whether one of them would be a better choice|aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee}} →
See this list to evaluate whether one of them would be a better choice the categories aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, and eee

Practical example

Bobsledding and luge are Olympic sports properly subcategorized under "sledding", so should not appear (strictly speaking categorically) as sub-categories of "winter sports". However, a lay reader using categories might expect to find them there. So to show their presence and guide proper selections for editors choosing categories, one can include the sub-sub-categories as a see also annotation on the Category:Winter sports page.

{{Category see also|Luge|Bobsleigh}} →
See also the categories Luge and Bobsleigh
