Editing Template:Category handler/doc (section)

=== Categories and text ===

Besides from categories, you can feed anything else to this template, for instance some text. Like this:

<pre>
{{tmbox
| text = This is a talk page message box.
}}{{category handler
| talk = [[Category:Somecat]]
| other = :::::This template should only be used on talk pages.
| nocat = {{{nocat|}}}   <!--So "nocat=true/false" works-->
}}
</pre>

When the template above is shown on anything else than a talk page, it will look like this (note the text below the box):

{{tmbox
| text = This is a talk page message box.
| nocat = true    <!--So this box doesn't add "Category:Talk message boxes"-->
}}{{category handler
| talk = [[Category:Somecat]]
| other = :::::This template should only be used on talk pages.
| nocat = {{{nocat|}}}   <!--So "nocat=true/false" works-->
}}

That text will not show on blacklisted pages, so don't use this method to show any important information. Feeding "<code>nocat = true</code>" to the template hides the text, just as it suppresses any categories.
