සැකිල්ල:Category main article/උපදෙස්

භාවිතය

This template is for use on Category pages, to refer to the primary article associated with this category, which most of the time, describes the entire set containing the category.

This template is not a replacement for adding a category to the main article. The main article of a category should always have the category set. Furthermore, the main article should always have a space as sort key so that it appears on top of a category. Example: the article Internet should have the category [[Category:Internet| ]].

Normal usage (uses category name for wiki link):

• {{Category main article}} results in
  The main article for this category is Category main article/උපදෙස්.

If the name of the main article is different than the name of the category සැකිල්ල:-- for example: if the main article for Category: Dead or Alive (series) is Dead or Alive (franchise) — then you will need to use one parameter to specify the article:

• {{Category main article|Dead or Alive (franchise)}} results in
  The main article for this category is Dead or Alive (franchise).

Multiple articles

Simply append more articles as additional arguments (up to five):

• {{Category main article|1 BC}} results in
  The main article for this category is 1 BC.
• {{Category main article|1 BC|2 BC}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1 BC සහ 2 BC.
• {{Category main article|1 BC|2 BC|3 BC|4 BC|5 BC}} results in
  The main articles for this category are 1 BC, 2 BC, 3 BC, 4 BC සහ 5 BC.

Pages which aren't articles

The template should automatically detect titles being outside the article namespace, but this may also be set manually:

• {{Category main article|WP:WikiProject|article=no}} results in
  The main page for this category is WP:WikiProject.
