Creating new category trees[edit source]
- Avoid creating overly-specific categories, especially those where all years contain a trivial number of pages. These categories do little to aid the overall structure, causing more disruption and ambiguity than order. These may be CFD'd, or even CSD'd, after some grace period for initial population; for example, if only several years have been created out of potentially several hundred, or if many years have been created but all contain a trivial number of pages.
- Chances are, there is already an appropriate category structure in place, which should be considered before creating new branches.
- If/when a new category tree is created, make sure that any red-linked parents categories are also created. You can find categories with red-linked parents here.
Usage[edit source]
{{Category described in year}}
No parameters are needed. Instead, the name of the calling category is used to determine its place in the tree.
Sitelinks[edit source]

(P373) property and/or an "Other sites" sitelink to commons exist at Wikidata. See [Lua error in Module:Wikibase at line 27: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Lua error in Module:Wikibase at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q9757156)] for both uses. Duplicate values are ignored.
- {{Wikispecies}} links are automatically produced if the appropriate sitelink exists at Wikidata. See [Lua error in Module:Wikibase at line 27: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Lua error in Module:Wikibase at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q28467553)] for an example.
