Template:C/doc

Not to be confused with Template:Circa.

Usage

{{c |category name}}

{{c |category name |link text}}

Use {{c}} to create a namespace-free link to a category, e.g. Philosophy rather than Category:Philosophy, Cat:Philosophy:

{{c|Philosophy}} produces: Philosophy

{{c|Category:philosophy}} produces: Category:philosophy

To specify the text used for the link – e.g. "Philosophy category" in place of "Philosophy" – add it as the next parameter:

{{c|Philosophy|Philosophy category}} produces: Philosophy category

{{c|Category:philosophy|Philosophy category}} produces: Philosophy category
