This template is for use on [[WP:CATEGORY|category]] pages (in the Category: namespace), producing a [[WP:HATNOTE|hatnote]] describing the category. It takes a single parameter{{Snd}} the category description{{Snd}} producing the hatnote:

=== Usage ===

: ''This [[WikipediaHelp:CategorizationCategories|category]] is for {{{1}}}.''

[[Wikt:mnemonic|Mnemonically]] '''''C'''ategory'' '''''E'''xplanation''.

followed by that description. Any spaces surrounding the parameter are removed, and a space is inserted before it. It should be worded so as to make the result a complete English sentence. A [[Full stop|period (full stop)]] will be added to the end if the parameter does not already end with a period. The hatnote is indented and on a new line (technically, in a new [[Span and div|<code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>]]).

== Examples ==

This template is meant to be a brief explanation of a [[Wikipedia:Categorization|category]].

* <span style="color:darkgreen;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]]</nowiki>}} produces:</span> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]]}}

* <span style="color:darkgreen;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]].</nowiki>}} produces:</span>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]].}}

==== Template contents ====

* <span style="color:red;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]]:</nowiki>}} (undesirably) produces:</span>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]]:}}

''This [[Wikipedia:Categorization|category]] is for {{{1}}}.''

Where the parameter '''<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>''' can be any text, including text with [[Help:Link|links]].
