This category is for templates that help to identify, categorize, and organize article content and quality.
To put a template in Category:Article management templates:
- Include
<noinclude>[[Category:Article management templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
in the template. The<noinclude></noinclude>
section is necessary, to prevent all articles that transclude the template from being inadvertently placed in the same category as the template. The|{{PAGENAME}}
is necessary, so that the templates in Category:Article management templates are sorted alphabetically by the actual template names, instead of everything being lumped under "T" for "Template:".
- If your template is meant to be used inline (meaning in the middle of a line or table row, for example, instead of in a paragraph or section on its own), make sure that there are no newlines after
</noinclude>
. If there are, it could add extra unwanted spacing to tables, bulleted and numbered lists, and similar formatting constructs. Ideally, your template article should look like the following:
<includeonly><!-- All of your template code goes here. --></includeonly><noinclude> <!-- All of your template documentation and information goes here. --> [[Category:Category name here|{{PAGENAME}}]] </noinclude>
- A template can be put into as many categories as it logically should belong to. Include one
[[Category:...|{{PAGENAME}}]]
line for each appropriate category. No template should be placed directly into Category:Templates.
- If Category:Article management templates is not the best category for your template, return to Category:Templates and select a better one, or create a new category there if no good category exists. If you do create a new category, the description of that category should be just Template:Templatecategory. Refer to that page for further instructions.
