Categorisation

Template category

This template adds pages toCategory:Lua-based templatesif the page is in the template namespace, and it is not on any of the subpages /doc, /sandbox, /sandbox2 or /testcases. You can specify a different category with the|category=parameter, e.g.|category=Lua String-based templates.

Some modules have a default category other thanCategory:Lua-based templates:

• Module:Stringhas the default categoryCategory:Templates based on the String Lua module.
• Module:Mathhas the default categoryCategory:Templates based on the Math Lua module.
• Module:BaseConverthas the default categoryCategory:Templates based on the BaseConvert Lua module.
• Module:Citation/CS1has the default categoryCategory:Templates based on the Citation/CS1 Lua module.

Error category

If no modules are specified, the transcluded page will be added toCategory:Lua templates with errors.

Category suppression

To suppress all categorisation, use|nocat=true.(As well as "true", the values "yes", "y", and "1" will also work.)
