Template:Stub category/doc

Usage
For example:

will show:

The category type parameter inserts additional text between the phrases "This category is for" and "stub articles relating to ...", so using biographical will give "This category is for biographical stub articles relating to ...".

WikiProject
WikiProject links to a relevant WikiProject page. For example:

will show:

message
message adds a message displayed below the main output of the template, but above the table of contents (TOC) which will be automatically generated by CatAutoTOC if the category contains enough pages.

This ensures that the message doesn't get tangled up in the TOC.

Tracking categories
Certain cases of incorrect usage are tracked:
 * the newstub parameter is blank or absent;
 * the category parameter is blank or absent.

See Category:Stub categories needing attention (population: )

Usage of the parameter is also tracked. See Category:Stub categories with message parameter (population: )

Fixing P-type categories
These are categories that lack a 'primary category' that is not a stub category. To fix this, add the primary category to the "category" parameter in the template; this will place the category into the newly specified parent category and remove the category from the "P" subsection in the "Stub categories needing attention" category. Simply adding the new category to the existing list of categories will properly categorize the category, but it will not remove the category from the "attention" category.
