This template is used to control a multitude of tropical cyclone-related templates: {{t|storm colour}}, {{t|storm name}}, {{t|storm sortkey}}, 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:

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|storm sortkey}} and {{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.
