Usage

Template:Lcs (edit talk links history) needs one parameter, the name of an existing Template:Wpd. It then displays links like Lts, save for the category vice for a template.

Example:

{{Lcs|Interwiki utility templates}}

appears as:

Category:Interwiki utility templates <tt>(</tt>edit talk links history<tt>)</tt>

Documentation

Template:Lcs is a smaller variant of Template:Wpd with pleasant output also on browsers which don't support Template:Wpd.

Template:Wpd allows one parameter, the name of an existing Template:Wpd. It can be used on talk and user pages related to an existing Template:Wpd of the category, but the linked category talk page might also not yet exist.

Usage

{{Lcs|category}} shows links for the specified category
{{Lcs}} shows links for a category wrt the {{PAGENAME}}

Example

Code Result
{{Lcs|stubs}} Category:Stubs (edit talk links history)
{{Lcs}} Category:Lcs (edit talk links history)

The latter shows bogus links, as long as no category Lcs exists.

Comparison

We got a zoo of similar templates, pick what you like. This list is probably incomplete and intentionally omits redirections:

Template:-
Templates 'CAT' vs. 'Cat' 
(Note: 'Cat' is also available on all sister's, but varies by prior usage to add a page by {{{{{1|PAGENAME}}}}} name to a the 'named' category, or has some other function (There are multiple deviant prior usages!). 'CAT' is a English Template:Wpd wiki-wide version.)

  • Template:Cat see also — lists a group of cats (usually on a category page) to cross-link to other categories of the same parent, or some other useful relationship (image galleries, etcetera).
  • Template:Cat also — Takes a list of category names, and adds the list to the page, using the first perameter as the pipetrick for the group. Very handy when building a new page related to another; one can just steal the cats off the existing page and paste them down.
