Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Inyandikorugero:Template category/doc]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Inyandikorugero:Template category/doc]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

The following, however, may be used to make the template more informative:

onright

---

Use onright (or rhs) to place right-aligned boxes beside the template such as {{Portal}} (to provide link/s to related portal/s), {{Commons category}} (to provide a link to the same or a similarly-named Commons category), etc. If more than one box is included, ensure the widest one appears first (see example below) otherwise overlapping may occur.

topic, onright

{{Template category
| topic = the [[United States]]
| onright = {{Commons category|United States|the United States}}{{Portal|United States}}
}}
