Template:Parent-only stub category/doc
![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Parent-only stub category. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
[edit]{{Parent-only stub category |article= |category= |category type= |WikiProject= }}
For example:
{{Parent-only stub category |article=Asian [[association football]] biographies |category=Football (soccer) players by nationality }}
will show:
![]() | This category is for stub articles relating to Asian association football biographies. You can help by expanding them. This stub category is a parent-only category, that is, all stubs within it should be in one of its subcategories, or marked with a template that may eventually have a separate subcategory. To add an article to this category, please use the appropriate template for one of its subcategories. |
The |category type=
parameter inserts additional text between the phrases "This category is for" and "stub articles relating to ...", so using |category type=biographical
will give "This category is for biographical stub articles relating to ...". This parameter is only valid if |article=
is also set.
There is also an optional parameter |WikiProject=
which links to a relevant WikiProject page. Again, this is only valid if |article=
is also set. For example:
{{Parent-only stub category |article=the [[Commonwealth of Massachusetts]] |category=Massachusetts |category type=biographical |WikiProject=Massachusetts }}
will show:
![]() | This category is for biographical stub articles relating to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You can help by expanding them. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Massachusetts. This stub category is a parent-only category, that is, all stubs within it should be in one of its subcategories, or marked with a template that may eventually have a separate subcategory. To add an article to this category, please use the appropriate template for one of its subcategories. |
