This template is used to control a multitude of tropical cyclone-related templates: {{t|storm colour}}, {{t|storm name}}, and {{t|storm icon}}. It acts as a centralized ___location for storm categories to avoid discrepancies between templates, allowing for the same ID to be used across all related templates.
 
Data is located in the following submodules:
* [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] for fully-detailed storm categories
* [[Module:Storm categories/colors]] for color-only IDs
* [[Module:Storm categories/icons]] for icon-only IDs
 
== Usage ==
This module exports three functions for templates: <code>p.color</code>, <code>p.name</code>, <code>p.sortkey</code>, and <code>p.sortkeyicon</code>. It also provides <code>p._color</code>, <code>p._name</code>, <code>p._sortkey</code>, and <code>p._sortkey_icon</code> for use in other modules.
 
All input IDs are case-insensitive, and all non-alphanumeric characters are stripped.
 
=== Color ===
Provides the color of the given tropical cyclone category code. This comes in the format of their raw hexidecimalhexadecimal code. This function is available as a template at {{T|storm colour}}.

=== Name ===
Provides the name of the given tropical cyclone category code. A optional basin argument can be provided as the second argument in order to slightly tweak the name of the category, if the given category definition supports it. This function is case-insensitive,available andas alla non-alphanumerictemplate charactersat are{{T|storm strippedname}}.

=== Sortkey ===
The sortkey is a number that aids in sorting categories. Using the sortkey, it is possible to automatically sort a table of tropical cyclones given their category code. Due to the ambiguous nature of sortkeys, tables may be sorted incorrectly if values from other basins were used. For categories that span multiple basins, however, (e.g. <code>depression</code> and <code>storm</code>) they are given the lowest possible sortkeys in order to achieve maximum compatibility.
{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Storm categories|
 
<p>This sortkey is used in {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects (cyclone)}}, a subtemplate of {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects}}.</p>
}}
 
The sortkey format is as follows. Note that not all values between the given ranges were used. The arrangement of these were determined by their positions in the {{T|Storm colour}} template.

=== Icon ===
Icons exist for some Storm categories for presentation purposes. This function is available as a template at {{T|storm icon}}. <code>p.icon</code> will return wikitext of an image or formatted text.
 
=== Full list of available values ===
The following table is generated by invoking the <code>demo</code> function of this module. Some IDs are only available as colors or icons because they existed as parameters on old non-module template implementations and cannot be feasibly aliased to a specific tropical cyclone category.
{{#invoke:Tropical cyclone categories|demo}}
 
It will show any color errors, including colors which aren't compliant with the minimal [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines#WCAG 2.0|Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0]] AA color standards (see [[MOS:COLOR]] for more information).
