This module should usually be used via the Category main article template. However, it can also be used from #invoke with the syntax. Please see the Category main article template documentation for available parameters.

Load the module:

You can then use the _catMain function like this:

options is an optional table that can be used to configure the function's output. There are two available options, "article" and "selfref".
 * article - if this is set to false, "no", "n", "false", or 0, the module outputs "The main page" rather than "The main article". Use the code {article = false}.
 * selfref - this is used when the output is a self-reference to Wikipedia. To set this option, use {selfref = true}. (See the selfref template for more details on self-references.)

The remaining arguments are page names to be turned into link(s) following the text "The main article for this category is". If no page names are specified, the current page name (minus the namespace name) is used for the first link.
