Template:InfoboxCategory

Template:InfoboxCategory

Renders the infobox card at the top of a Vault category page — as distinct from the content infoboxes ({{InfoboxMovie}}, {{InfoboxShow}}, etc.), which describe an article's subject rather than a category's place in the tree.

Displays the page's own name automatically via InfoboxCategory — there is no name parameter, since a category page's title is fixed and shouldn't need repeating.

Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals, same as the other infoboxes.

Formatting note: the entire template body is written as one unbroken line, with no line breaks between rows — same rule as every other infobox/brief template on the wiki. Splitting rows across multiple lines causes MediaWiki to wrap them in stray <p> tags; leaving blank lines between otherwise-correct rows causes visible gaps.

Important: this template must never be placed on a page that also contains a call to itself, and must never itself call

InfoboxCategory

— doing either produces a "Template loop detected" error.

Usage:

{{InfoboxCategory
|parent_categories=[[:Category:The Vault|The Vault]]
|related_categories=[[:Category:Locations by Type|Locations by Type]], [[:Category:Locations by Geography|Locations by Geography]]
}}

Place at the top of a category page, before its descriptive text.

Parameters

• parent_categories — the category's parent(s) in the tree, as display text/links (this is separate from the actual [[Category:Parent]] tag at the bottom of the page, which is what does the real categorization — this parameter is just the human-readable label)
• related_categories — optional. Sibling or cross-referenced categories worth surfacing to a reader browsing this category
