{{category link}}or its alias{{cl}}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=yesparameter:
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes}}produces:Category:Africa( 33 )
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( 33 )(default)
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=pages}}produces:Category:Africa( 5 )
- {{Cl|Africa|count=yes|count_type=subcats}}produces:Category:Africa( 28 )
- {{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( 33 )
