Line 14:
This is the page banner template for [[:Category:Wikipedia {{#if:{{{howto|}}}|how-to{{!}}Wikipedia how-to|information pages{{!}}Wikipedia information pages}}]].
It can be placed on top of [[Wikipedia:WP:GOVPS|administration pages]] (not-articles) when appropriate (see [[Wikipedia:WP:INFOPAGES]] for details). This usually means pages in the "Wikipedia:" and "Help:" namespaces, but sometimes {{#if:{{{howto|}}}|how-to guides|information pages}} also exist as user subpages.
== Categorization ==
If a page that uses this template is in the "Wikipedia:" or "Help:" [[Wikipedia:WP:Namespace|namespace]], then this template adds [[:Category:Wikipedia {{#if:{{{howto|}}}|how-to|information pages}}]] to the page.
If the page is in the [[Wikipedia:WP:User pages|"User:"]] namespace, it will be put into [[:Category:User essays]]. If your page is just a draft, please use the {{para|nocat}} parameter to prevent categorization, until it is finished.
If it is in some other namespace, it will not be auto-categorized, and it may be in the wrong place.

=== Optional parameters ===
* {{para|1}} or {{para|sc1}}, {{para|shortcut1}}, {{para|shortcut}}, or first unnamed parameter – First [[Wikipedia:WP:Shortcut|shortcut]]. Don't include <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> linking brackets in this or other shortcut parameters.
* {{para|2}} or {{para|sc2}}, {{para|shortcut2}}, or first unnamed parameter – Second shortcut
* {{para|3}} or {{para|sc3}}, {{para|shortcut3}}, or first unnamed parameter – Third shortcut (deprecated; please use separate [[Template:Shortcut]] for three or more)
* {{para|interprets}} or {{para|page}} or {{para|pages}} – Specify name of page (policy, process, etc.) that this essay provides advice about. For a single page, it is not necessary to include <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> linking brackets;. This will replace the wording "{{#if:{{{howto|}}}|some aspect or aspects of Wikipedia's norms and practices|Wikipedia's norms and practices}}". If more than one page and/or any notes are intended, links must be manually coded, e.g.: {{para|interprets|<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] policy and the [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources]] guideline</nowiki>}}
* {{para|sort-by}} – Specify a [[Wikipedia:WP:Categorization#Sort keys|sort key]] for the category. For example, if the how-to page is [[Wikipedia:Producing maps with xplanet]] and you want it category-sorted to appear under "X", use {{para|sort-by|Xplanet, Producing maps with}}. This has no effect on the user essays category.
* {{para|category}} – Specify a complete wikilink (i.e, {{em|do}} include the <code><nowiki>[[...]]</nowiki></code> linking brackets) to one or more categories to override the default [[:Category:Wikipedia {{#if:{{{howto|}}}|how-to|information pages}}]]. May include a category sort; example: <code><nowiki>[[Category:WikiProject Underwater Basketweaving|Article structure advice]]</nowiki></code> This parameter does not replace the [[:Category:User essays]] categorization for pages in the "User:" namespace, but can be used to add them manually to [[:Category:Wikipedia {{#if:{{{howto|}}}|how-to|information pages}}]], in addition to the automatic user category.
* {{para|nocat|y}} or {{para|demo|y}} – Bypass all categorization, when the template is used for demo purposes, e.g. in template documentation, on talk pages, etc.
