This template is for use on [[WP:CATEGORY|category]] pages (in the Category: namespace), producing a [[WP:HATNOTE|hatnote]] describing the category. It takes a single parameter{{Snd}} the category description{{Snd}} producing the hatnote:<br />
: ''This [[Help:Categories|category]] is for''<br />
followed by that description. Any spaces surrounding the parameter are removed, and a space is inserted before it. It should be worded so as to make the result a complete English sentence. A [[Full stop|period (full stop)]] will be added to the end if the parameter does not already end with a period. The hatnote is indented and on a new line (technically, in a new [[Span and div|<code><nowiki><div></nowiki></code>]]).<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* <span style="color:darkgreen;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]]</nowiki>}} produces:</span> {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]]}}<br />
* <span style="color:darkgreen;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]].</nowiki>}} produces:</span>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]].}}<br />
* <span style="color:red;">This code: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to <nowiki>[[foo]]:</nowiki>}} (undesirably) produces:</span>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|articles related to [[foo]]:}}<br />
