This template is a template wrapper around theformat_categories function inModule:utilities/templates. It adds one or more categories to an entry, using the provided language code to generate a sort key specific to the language.
For example,{{categorize|ga|Munster Irish}} or{{cat|ga|Munster Irish}} in the entrycíonn adds the categoryCategory:Munster Irish with the sortkeycionn, in which the acute accent oncíonn has been removed.
If the namespace of the current page is not meant to contain entries (it's not the main, Reconstruction, or Appendix namespace), then the template does not categorize, so it's safe to use on any page and in any template.
The two templates{{catlangname}} and{{topics}} are specialized versions of{{categorize}}. They work the same way, and have the same parameters. However:
{{catlangname}} (shortcut{{cln}}) will add the language name before all the names that are provided. This creates a grammatical – morphological, orthographical or part-of-speech-related – category whose name is based on the formatCategory:(language name) (category name).{{topics}} (shortcut{{C}}) will add the language code and a colon: before all the names. This creates a topical category, whose name is based on the formatCategory:(language code):(category name).The template accepts the following parameters:
|1=|2=,|3=…|sort=|sort1=,|sort2=…{{categorize|en|Cockney rhyming slang}} adds:{{catlangname|en|nouns}} adds:{{catlangname|pt|suffixes}} adds:{{topics|en|Biology}} adds:{{topics|pt|Biology}} adds:{{categorize}}{{catlangname}}{{topics}}link=supplementaryPlease seeModule:checkparams for help with this warning.
