Template:Suppress categories
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template is used on approximately 5,600 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template uses Lua: |
- {{strip categories}}
- {{suppresscats}}
- {{stripcats}}
- {{supcat}}
This template strips categories from wikitext. For example, if passed the code "foo[[Category:Some category]]
", it will return only "foo
". It can be used to strip categories from templates as well; if passed the code "{{my template}}
", it will return the template output minus the categories.
The template properly handles categories escaped with the colon trick, categories whose names include invalid characters such as ">
", and categories that are surrounded with nowiki tags. However, it does not support complex wikitext such as nested links or magic words like __TOC__
. Even so, it should still remove the vast majority of categories from any given wikitext.
Usage
{{suppress categories|''input text''}}
