noinclude/noinclude
To add an article to a category put the following at the end of the page you are editing...
nowiki[[Category:{Name}]]/nowiki
where {Name} is the name of the category you want to add it to. Any number of category tags may be added to the page - the page will be listed in all of them.
You can also specify an additional {Sort} parameter that dictates where the page will appear, alphabetically, within the category. This is achieved by using the following markup:
nowiki[[Category:{Name}|{Sort}]]/nowiki
So for example, to add this page to the 'Help' category, you would use:
nowiki/nowiki
Note that we used 'Categories' as the sort parameter. Without this the page would be listed under 'H' for 'Help:Categories', instead of under 'C', which is more useful. Other situations where you might want to use the sort parameter is when you have articles about people that are titled as codeFirstName LastName/code but within the category you want them listed as codeLastName, FirstName/code.
Note: the {sort} parameter does not affect how the page title is displayed within the category listing, just how it is ordered. In the above example, the link to this page will still be 'Help:Categories', and not 'Categories' as you might expect!

Syntax
nowikiPageName/nowiki
- PageName (optional) - the name of the page to display language links for. If omitted then the English version of the current page is used. This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, which is very uncommon. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name, not the full page name (e.g. on MediaWiki/fr you would need to use codenowikiMediaWiki/nowiki/code and not codenowikiMediaWiki/fr/nowiki/code).
Usage
The template should only be placed on pages that exist in more than one language, and it should be placed in the same location on each translation of the page.
The English version of a page is always the main version, with all other languages as sub-pages, named using the appropriate language code (see below).
For example, on the Main Page you would include the text codenowiki{{{Languages}}}/nowiki/code, both on Main Page itself, and on each of its language sub-pages. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. ttMain Page/jatt, ttMain Page/fr/tt, and ignores non-existant languages.
See Project:Language policy for further details about translating pages.
Supported languages
This shows you the name of each language's sub-page (using Main Page as an example). Other languages may be added easily as necessary. Please use the appropriate prefix, as used on Wikipedia when adding a new language. Please do not add languages for which no pages exist yet, as this will increase the time needed to include the template without adding any benefit (languages are only displayed to the user when the relevant page exists).
The link on the language names goes to the Wikipedia in that language. If no Wikipedia in your language exists, do not add pages in that language to MediaWiki.org! This wiki is not the place for language advocacy - please go through the correct channels, and once your language has a Wikipedia then please return to add content here.
