Line 150:

You can create a link to a category page without adding the page to that category by using a colon before the word Category. Example: <tt><nowiki>[[:Category:Automotive technologies]]</nowiki></tt> appears as [[:Category:Automotive technologies]].

In some cases, particularly in the middle of a category tree, it is helpful to use the [[template:cat see also]] to expose the existanceexistence of important sub-cateories lower down in the heirarchy. This prevents newer editors from incorrectly adding articles to a higher category level, and readers in locating such. On particularly well -populated categories, it can be used to bring the default skin's 'parent categories' (which display at the page bottom) up above the page lists to ease navigation. The similar template {{tlx|Cat see also commons}} can be utilized on lower level categories to give editors and browsing customer readers ready access to commons subtrees. (See {{Cat|Munich}} for an example.)
