Template:Never substitute

Usage

This template should be placed at the top of categories used in the maintenance of TechInfoDepot, rather than as part of the encyclopedia — for example, at the top of Category:TechInfoDepot administration.

Parameters

The following descriptions assume the template is transcluded on a page in the Category namespace.

|container=true/yes Causes the template to add the page (the category) to Category:Container categories and include a {{Container category}} style message. To inhibit self-categorisation, set |container_category=no.
|tracking=true/yes Causes the template to add the page (the category) to Category:Tracking categories and include a {{Tracking category}} style message. To inhibit self-categorisation, set |tracking_category=no.
|purpose= To add a short explanation of the tracking category after the message, use |purpose=Short explanation. The |tracking= parameter must be set to true or yes to display.
|desc= Text supplied will be placed below the template with a boldfaced header of "Description:". The word "Description" can be replaced by something else, using |alt=Something else.
|hidden=true/yes Causes the template to hide the page (the category), add it to Category:Hidden categories and to include a {{Hidden category}} style message. Using |tracking=false/no or |tracking=true/yes, in addition, will give slightly different messages in the box.
|empty=true/yes Includes a {{Possibly empty category}} style message. In addition, to add a short explanation of the empty category after the message, use |empty_text=Short explanation.
|polluted=false/no Exclude categories that legitimately contain pages in both the (Main) namespace and the user namespace from TechInfoDepot:Database reports/Polluted categories.
|shortcut1= Enables a shortcut to the category to be displayed by the template.
Multiple shortcuts are supported: from |shortcut1=, up to |shortcut5=.
