Template:Suppress categories

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Suppress categories/doc.

<translate> </translate>

This template strips categories from wikitext. For example, if passed the code "foo[[Category:Some category]]", it will return only "foo". It can be used to strip categories from templates as well; if passed the code "{{my template}}", it will return the template output minus the categories.

The template properly handles categories escaped with the colon trick, categories whose names include invalid characters such as ">", and categories that are surrounded with nowiki tags. However, it does not support complex wikitext such as nested links or magic words like __TOC__. Even so, it should still remove the vast majority of categories from any given wikitext.

<translate> Usage</translate>

{{Suppress categories |1= }}
