CatInclude

From ISOGG Wiki

The {{CatInclude}} template makes category inclusion in other templates easier. It eliminates the need for complicated #switches and #ifeq of NAMESPACE to allow category inclusion in templates without including those categories in certain NAMESPACES such as, the Template and ISOGG Wiki NAMESPACES. The code being used is shown below.

{{#switch: {{NAMESPACE}}
|Template=<!-- no categorization -->
|ISOGG Wiki=<!-- no categorization -->
|#default={{#arraydefine:cats|{{{1|}}}}} {{#arrayprint:cats||@@@@|[[Category:@@@@|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}{{#arrayreset:cats}}
}}
