Template:Hidden category
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category is not shown on its member pages unless the appropriate user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. |
This template is used on approximately 6,800 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. |
Usage
This should be placed on the category page that you wish to be hidden. It includes the __HIDDENCAT__
magic word, so that does not need to be added to pages that already have the {{hidden category}}
template.
Criteria are given at Wikipedia:Categorization § Hiding categories and Category:Hidden categories.
