- ((c |category name))
- ((c |category name |link text))
Use ((c)) to create a namespace-free link to a category, e.g. Philosophy rather than Category:Philosophy, Cat:Philosophy:
- ((c|Philosophy)) produces: Philosophy
- ((c|Category:philosophy)) produces: Philosophy
To specify the text used for the link – e.g. "Philosophy category" in place of "Philosophy" – add it as the next parameter:
- ((c|Philosophy|Philosophy category)) produces: Philosophy category
- ((c|Category:philosophy|Philosophy category)) produces: Philosophy category
- ((cl)), which produces the second type of link shown in the Usage section (Category:Philosophy, i.e. including the namespace prefix).
- ((cls)), which produces the third type shown in the Usage section (Cat:Philosophy, i.e. including an abbreviated namespace prefix).
- ((lcs)), which produces output such as: Category:Philosophy(edit talk links history)
- ((icon)) for standard Wikipedia icons.
