ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Tracking category/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Tracking category.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ଛାଞ୍ଚ page.

This template should not be substituted.

Usage

This message box is used to identify tracking categories, categories mainly created to create lists of templates or pages using specific syntaxes or features.

{{Tracking category}}

This is a tracking category

It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.
These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This template should only be transcluded in the category namespace(s).

{{Tracking category|Extra description to appear below the main text}}

When this message box is used on category pages it categorises them into Category:Tracking categories. When shown/demonstrated on any other kind of page it does not add any category, instead it shows a reminder about where this message box is supposed to be used.

Adding |hidden=yes to the template will also hide the category and display a message identical to {{Hidden category}}. This should be used to save space on pages where there are multiple templates, rather than having an additional messagebox with {{Hidden category}}.
