From wikilawschool.net. Wiki Law School does not provide legal advice. For educational purposes only.
USAGE
The <ncl> tag displays a category list: <ncl [options]>Category:Some Category</ncl>
The tag takes the following parameters, all of which are optional:
- maxdepth=<number>
- The maximum category depth to display; default 32
- style=<style>
- 'bullet' to show category contents as bullet lists (default); 'compact' for a more compact listing
- showcats=<bool>
- Non-0 to display sub-category links in "bottom" (ie. maxdepth) categories (default 0).
- showarts=<bool>
- Non-0 to display articles in categories (default 1).
- headings=<style>
- 'head' to display category headings as Wiki headings (default); 'bullet' to display category headings as large bullets
'headings=bullet' works well with 'style=compact'.
- headstart=<number>
- With 'headings=head', the heading level to list top-level categories with (level increases for sub-cats) (default 1).
- sort=<bool>
- Non-0 to sort the list alphabetically; else sort the list according to the index key.
EXAMPLES
For a nice "high-level" category index, use this in a template:
<ncl style=compact maxdepth=2 headings=bullet headstart=2 showcats=1 showarts=1>Category:{{PAGENAME}}</ncl>
To generate a full category listing, with indentation indicating category containment, use:
<ncl style=compact headings=bullet headstart=2 showcats=1 showarts=0>Category:Categories</ncl>
