Editing Template:Tracking category/doc (section)

== Usage ==
Use the basic syntax '''<nowiki>{{Tracking category}}</nowiki>''' on a [[Help:Category|category]] page to designate it as a tracking category. This template places the category into '''[[:Category:Tracking categories]]''' and '''[[:Category:Hidden categories]]''', causes the category to be '''[[WP:HIDDENCAT|hidden]]''' on its member pages, and produces the following message box on the category page:
{{Tracking category}}

This template is only for use in the category [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]], ns=14. Using it on any page in other namespaces will add the page to '''[[:Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace]]''' and produce the following error message box on the category page:
<!--the following is needed because {{Incorrect namespace}} won't display in the Template namespace-->
{{Mbox | type = content | image = [[File:Stop hand orange.svg|50px]] | text = {{Error|The above template should only be transcluded in the ''Category'' namespace(s).}} }}

=== Parameters ===
; category
: Used to prevent the addition of '''[[:Category:Tracking categories]]''' and optionally add a different category instead.
: The syntax '''<code><nowiki>{{Tracking category|category=no}}</nowiki></code>''' will prevent a category page from being added to [[:Category:Tracking categories]].
: The syntax '''<code><nowiki>{{Tracking category|category=[[Category:Some other category]]}}</nowiki></code>''' will add the category page to '''Category:Some other category''' instead of [[:Category:Tracking categories]].

; text
: Used to add extra text to the template. The text will be shown in the visible (unfolded) part of the template.
: The syntax '''<code><nowiki>{{Tracking category|text=Extra text goes here.}}</nowiki></code>''' produces:
{{Tracking category|text=Extra text goes here.}}

; container
: Use to further designate the category as a '''[[Wikipedia:Container category|container category]]'''.
: The syntax '''<code><nowiki>{{Tracking category|container=yes}}</nowiki></code>''' adds the category page to '''[[:Category:Container categories]]''' and produces<nowiki>:</nowiki>
{{Tracking category|container=yes}}

; unnamed parameter 1
: When used with {{para|container|yes}}, this parameter will add content below the container category message box. When used without {{para|container|yes}}, this parameter is ignored. 
: The syntax '''<code><nowiki>{{Tracking category|container=yes|This content is added below the container category message box.}}</nowiki></code>''' produces<nowiki>:</nowiki>
{{Tracking category|container=yes|This content is added below the container category message box.}}
