Template:Ucat
 | This template is used on approximately 39,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template adds the current user page to as many as ten user categories. This template may be used directly on your user page or following a user template. This template will only declare categories in the User namespace (NS:2) (other than User:UBX), and will not declare categories in other namespaces. This template may be used with Template:Userbox to create userboxes that only declare user categories in the User namespace.
Use
To use this template, place the following line of Help:Wikitext after a user template or alone on your user page:
{{ucat|usercat01|...|usercat10|nocat=}}
where:
usercat01|...|usercat10are the base names of up to 10 user categories.nocat=is the optional category declaration switch:nocat=falsedeclare the user categories if in User namespace (NS:2) except User:UBX. (default)nocat=truedo not declare any categories.
Caution: If Template:Ucat is used after a userbox template in the User namespace (NS:2) other than User:UBX (most commonly your own user namespace), it must be enclosed in "includeonly" brackets, e.g. <includeonly>{{ucat|Wikipedian cyclists}}</includeonly>
This prevents Template:Ucat from including the user template itself in the category or categories.
Examples
The Wiki markup {{ucat|Wikipedians interested in chess}} adds the user page to the following category:
The Wiki markup {{ucat|Canadian Wikipedians|Wikipedian engineers|Wikipedians in Alberta}} adds the user page to the following categories:
The Wiki markup {{ucat|Wikipedian lawyers|Wikipedians interested in politics|nocat=true}} does not declare any categories.
