{{High-use}}<br />
This [[Help:Template|template]] adds the current [[Wikipedia:User page|user page]] to as many as ten [[:Category:Wikipedians|user categories]]. This template may be used directly on [[Special:MyPage|your user&nbsp;page]] or following a [[:Category:User namespace templates|user template]]. This template will only declare categories in the [[Wikipedia:User pages|User namespace (NS:2)]] (other than [[User:UBX]]), and will not declare categories in other [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespaces]]. This template may be used with [[Template:Userbox]] to create userboxes that only declare user categories in the User namespace.<br />
<br />
==Use==<br />
To use this template, place the following line of [[Help:Wikitext]] after a [[:Category:User namespace templates|user template]] or alone on [[Special:MyPage|your user&nbsp;page]]:<br />
'''<code><nowiki>{{ucat|usercat01|...|usercat10|nocat=}}</nowiki></code>'''<br />
where:<br />
*'''<code>usercat01|...|usercat10</code>''' are the base names of up to 10 user categories.<br />
*'''<code>nocat=</code>''' is the optional category declaration switch:<br />
**'''<code>nocat=false</code>''' declare the user categories if in User namespace (NS:2) except User:UBX. (default)<br />
**'''<code>nocat=true</code>''' do not declare any categories.<br />
'''Caution''': If Template:Ucat is used after a userbox template in the [[Wikipedia:User pages|User namespace (NS:2)]] other than [[User:UBX]] (most commonly your own user namespace), it must be enclosed in "includeonly" brackets, e.g. {{nowrap|<code><nowiki><includeonly>{{ucat|Wikipedian cyclists}}</includeonly></nowiki></code>}}<br/><br />
This prevents Template:Ucat from including the user template itself in the category or categories.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
The Wiki markup '''<code><nowiki>{{ucat|Wikipedians interested in chess}}</nowiki></code>''' adds the user page to the following category:<br />
*[[:Category:Wikipedians interested in chess]]<br />
The Wiki markup '''<code><nowiki>{{ucat|Canadian Wikipedians|Wikipedian engineers|Wikipedians in Alberta}}</nowiki></code>''' adds the user page to the following categories:<br />
*[[:Category:Canadian Wikipedians]]<br />
*[[:Category:Wikipedian engineers]]<br />
*[[:Category:Wikipedians in Alberta]]<br />
The Wiki markup '''<code><nowiki>{{ucat|Wikipedian lawyers|Wikipedians interested in politics|nocat=true}}</nowiki></code>''' does not declare any categories.<br />
