Categorisation
Template category
This template adds pages to Category:Lua-based templates if the page is in the template namespace, and it is not on any of the subpages /doc, /sandbox, /sandbox2 or /testcases. You can specify a different category with the |category= parameter, e.g. |category=Lua String-based templates.
Some modules have a default category other than Category:Lua-based templates:
- Module:String has the default category Category:Lua String-based templates.
- Module:Math has the default category Category:Templates based on the Math Lua module.
- Module:BaseConvert has the default category Category:Templates based on the BaseConvert Lua module.
- Module:Citation and Module:Citation/CS1 both have the default category Category:Lua-based citation templates.
Error category
If no modules are specified, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Lua templates with errors.
Category suppression
To suppress all categorisation, use |nocat=true. (As well as "true", the values "yes", "y", and "1" will also work.)
