Template:File category
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template inserts a descriptive notice at the top of the categories whose population demands insertion of certain template instead of using the ordinary category syntax.
This template is created to replace {{File template notice}} and {{category game screenshot header}}.
Usage
This category has only one mandatory parameter: the first unnamed parameter. For example:
{{File category|Non-free web screenshot}}

This line changes the notification using the second unnamed parameter:
{{File category|Non-free video game screenshot|Atari}}

{{File category|Non-free software screenshot|Screenshots of Nokia mobile devices}}
