Template:Container category
 | This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories. |
 | This template is used on many 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. |
| This template should not be substituted. |
Usage
Tag categories with {{Container category}} to inform editors that they should not contain anything other than subcategories.
The categories will be added to Category:Container categories. If the template is transcluded on a page outside of the category namespace, the page will not be added to Category:Container categories.
Categories that are part of Wikipedia administration should be tagged with {{Maintenance category}} instead.
