This template is used to control a multitude of tropical cyclone-related templates: {{t|storm colour}}, {{t|tc nom list}}, {{t|storm sortkey}}, and {{t|tropical cyclone status icons}}. 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.

This template is used to control a multitude of tropical cyclone-related templates: {{t|storm colour}}, {{t|tc nom list}}, {{t|storm sortkeyname}}, and {{t|tropical cyclone statusstorm iconsicon}}. 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:Tropical cycloneStorm categories/categories]] for fully-detailed storm categories

* [[Module:Tropical cycloneStorm categories/colors]] for color-only IDs

* [[Module:Tropical cycloneStorm categories/icons]] for icon-only IDs

=== 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 available as a template at {{T|Tcstorm nom listname}}.

=== 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}}|Tropical cycloneStorm categories|

<p>This sortkey is used in {{T|storm sortkey}} and {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects (cyclone)}}, a subtemplate of {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects}}.</p>

{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Tropical cyclone categories|

This sortkey is used in {{T|storm sortkey}} and {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects (cyclone)}}, a subtemplate of {{T|Tropical cyclone season effects}}.

}}

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.
