Use this if a customised description is needed, instead of (or, if topic also used, to follow) the default description above. See Example 2, Example 3, and Example 4 below.
type
Adds a note as to which type of template the category (but not necessarily its subcategories) is meant to contain. See Example 1, Example 2, and Example 4 below. Currently, setting type to one of eleven values produces a preset note. The values are:
ambox · campaignbox · conversion · external link · formatting function · infobox · meta · navbox · stub · timeline · userbox
If type is set to something other than one of these values, the default message: "The pages listed in this category are templates." appears.
help
Use this to provide customised instructions rather than the default explanation as to how to add a template to the category.
container
Use this for container categories by adding |container=yes to the template. The message: "Do not add templates to this category: instead, use the appropriate sub-category." will appear. See Example 3 below.
{{template category
|type = navbox
|topic = [[China]]
|description = <br /><small>For templates relating specifically to the [[People's Republic of China|People's Republic of China (PRC)]] or the current [[Republic of China|Republic of China (ROC, "Taiwan")]], see, respectively, {{c|People's Republic of China templates}} and {{c|Republic of China (Taiwan) templates}}.</small>
}}
{{template category
|type = external link
|description = '''Templates aiding the creation and formatting of external links to [[topic]] databases.'''
}}
Templates aiding the creation and formatting of external links to topic databases.
