Template:Category link/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category link (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Cl|category name}}

{{Cl|category name|link text}}

{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes}}

{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type}}

{{Cl|category name|link text|count=yes|count_type=type|backlog=backlog threshold}}

{{Cl}} ("[C]ategory [l]ink") produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl}} for a template.

To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter.

To add a count of everything in the category, add the |count=yes parameter.

If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the |count_type= parameter.

If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use |backlog=.
