Usage

Usual syntax

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

Parameters:

1. Most are pipe character separated category page names; up to 40 pages
2. LABEL=Some other phrase... → replaces defaults: "See also category:" or "See also categories:" (prefix messages).
   1. That phrase is normally italicized. When defining LABEL any wikimarkup or HTML text will be accepted.
   2. You may assume a space before the first category link.
   3. The template is written in an HTML <span>...</span> block, so can be used in-line as part of a sentence. Conversely, an editing must ensure a blank line or HTML "<br/>" follows it, or the text may be run the next line into it.

Other uses of the same title

"This page is about … For other uses …"

{{About}} is the main template for noting other uses.

• {{About|USE1}} →
  This page is about USE1. For other uses, see Category see also/doc (disambiguation).
• {{About|USE1||PAGE2}} (When the disambiguation page has a different name – Note the empty second parameter) →
  This page is about USE1. For other uses, see PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2}} (When there is only one other use) →
  This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2.
• {{About|USE1|USE2|PAGE2|and|PAGE3}} (Two pages for USE2) →
  This page is about USE1. For USE2, see PAGE2 and PAGE3.

Categories

Category-specific templates:

• {{Category see also|THIS|THAT|THE OTHER}} →
  See also categories: THIS, THAT, and THE OTHER

This is a template for linking categories horizontally. Horizontal linkage is often the right solution when vertical linkage (i.e., as sub-category and parent category) is not appropriate. In most cases, this template should be used on both categories to create reciprocal linkage between the two categories.

• {{Cat main|MAIN ARTICLE}} →
  The main article for this category is MAIN ARTICLE.
