Template:Category other

The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template can be used to show a different text if it is not used on a page in the category namespace. It can also be used for category suppression, to avoid that a page is categorized if it is not in the category namespace.

Usage

{{category other|text if category|text if other |demospace=}}

text if category: Optional text to use if the template is on a page in the category namespace.

text if other: Optional text to use if the template is on a page in any other namespace.

demospace: Optional namespace override. If it is empty or undefined the namespace of the page with the template on will be used, if it is category then text if category will be shown and if it is other or any other namespace then text if other will be used.

Examples

Text selection

Since this is not a category page {{category other|this text will not be shown|this text will be shown}}.

Since this is not a category page this text will be shown.

However with {{category other|a little bit of cheating|this text will not be shown|demospace=category}}...

However with a little bit of cheating...

Category suppression

Using the template like this will only categorize a page when it is in the category namespace:

{{category other|[[Category:Meta categories]]}}
