User:Willscrlt/meta/cat
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
User:Willscrlt/meta/cat automatically inserts category links for each project to which Willscrlt contributes. It uses parser functions, variables, and other advanced template tricks to dynamically determine the current project and the standard categories that should be used on that project.
As-is, this template probably is not particularly useful to other people, but the logic used to determine the current project and which categories to use might be quite useful to others as a starting point for developing other templates. You are welcome to copy this template and adapt it however you like, but please do not edit this template, because it could break many other templates.
