Parameters
The following parameters that are all optional, may also be used:


 * type       : Adds a note as to which type of template the category (but not necessarily its subcategories) is meant to contain, e.g.


 * Currently, setting type to one of eleven values produces a preset note. The values are:

ambox· campaignbox· conversion· external link· formatting function· infobox· meta· navbox· stub· timeline· userbox
 * If type is set to something other than one of these values, the default message "The pages listed in this category are meant be type templates." appears.


 * topic      : Adds the default description "Templates relating to topic.", where topic is usually a wikilink to the main article associated with the category (e.g. United States for the category ). See Example 1 below.


 * description : Use this if a customised description is needed instead of (or, if topic also used, to follow) the default description above. See Example 2 below.


 * portal     : Adds a portal-style link to the right of any topic and/or description text. See Example 3 below


 * help       : Use this to provide customised instructions rather than the default explanation as to how to add a template to the category.


 * container  : Use this if the category is a container category by adding yes to the template.
