{{Cl}} ("[C]ategory [l]ink") produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl}} for a template. For example:
- {{Cl|Africa}} produces: Category:Africa
To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|this category}} produces: this category
To add a count of everything in the category, add the |count=yes
parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes}} produces: Category:Africa ( 11 )
If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the |count_type=
parameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes|count_type= all}} produces: Category:Africa ( 11 ) (default)
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes|count_type= pages}} produces: Category:Africa ( 9 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes|count_type= subcats}} produces: Category:Africa ( 2 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes|count_type= files}} produces: Category:Africa ( 0 )
If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use |backlog=
:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=
yes|backlog= 20}} produces: Category:Africa ( 11 )
