Further template category notes
This
category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.
To add a template to this category:
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name /doc"), add [[Category:Semantic markup templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Semantic markup templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.
This category is for article-related templates that improve BTW's use of Web semantics.
For background information on the concept of Web semantics (meaningful markup, as opposed to pure presentation/display), see the following pages:
