Usage
- Basic syntax
Use the basic syntax {{Tracking category}} on a category page to designate it as a tracking category. This template places the category into Category:Tracking categories and Category:Hidden categories, which causes the category to be hidden on its member pages, and produces the following message box on the category page:
|
This is a tracking category .
It is used to build and maintain lists of pages, primarily for the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. Please do not remove this notice. This is a hidden category.
|
|---|
Note: You do not need to add the __HIDDENCAT__ to the category, the template automatically does that. This template is only to be used on the Category namespace (ns=14).
- Full syntax
