This documentation is transcluded from Template:By region category/doc.


This is a shortcut way of adding {{metacat|region}} to a region. For backwards compatibility only, if {{{1}}} is filled in, the template will categorize into a topic category. "By region" categories are the only ones that do this autocategorizing (in the manner as explained below) into the main category tree (not maintenance/"flat list" parent categories). It's better to add the category manually, since it's possible someone will want to change it with HotCat or something. For example, you may want Category:Buildings by region categorized in Category:Buildings by location instead of directly in Category:Buildings. Categorization changes based on the structure of the topic category, thus auto-categorization isn't a good idea in this case.

Usage

[edit]
[[Category:Categories by region (flat list)|Buildings by region]]
[[Category:Buildings| Region]] (space before Region)
[[Category:Meta categories]]

Shortcut: {{by region}} also works. It redirects to {{By region category}}

New language version
