Template:C/doc

Usage

{{c |category name}}

{{c |category name |link text}}

Use {{c}} to create a namespace-free link to a category, e.g. Internal category-link templates rather than Category:Internal category-link templates, Cat:Internal category-link templates:

{{c|Internal category-link templates}} produces: Internal category-link templates

{{c|Category:Internal category-link templates}} produces: Internal category-link templates

To specify the text used for the link – e.g. "Internal category-link templates category" in place of "Internal category-link templates" – add it as the next parameter:

{{c|Internal category-link templates|Internal category-link templates category}} produces: Internal category-link templates category

{{c|Category:Internal category-link templates|Internal category-link templates category}} produces: Internal category-link templates category
