 * 1) source: Commons -- Move forced italics from before LABEL to default only when undefined, and matching logic for stopping italics... gives user better formatting control, by specifying LABEL. No effect when not defined, so minimal impact. // Fra nkB 04:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Usage

 * Usual syntax

Parameters:

 * 4) You may assume a space before the first category link.

 * 6) SISTER=Any valid interwiki or interproject prefix from de:, fr:, es: access to other wikipedia's to cross sister wiki's using sister projects abbreviations such as B:, Q:, S:, v: etc. and where applicable, both interlingual and cross project links can be made like

 * Pragmatic Example:

Bobsledding, luge, and skeleton are Olympic sports properly subcategorized under 'sledding', so shouldn't appear (strictly speaking categorically so to speak) as sub-categories of 'winter sports', but which a lay reader using categories might expect to find them. So to show their presence and guide proper selections for editors choosing categories amongst the three layers of categories, one can include the sub-sub-categories as a see also annotation on the page.
