Template:Suppress categories
Lua error in Module:Lua_banner at line 113: attempt to index field 'edit' (a nil value). Error: no shortcuts were specified and the |msg= parameter was not set.
This template strips categories from wikitext. For example, if passed the code "foo[[Category:Some category]]
", it will return only "foo
". It can be used to strip categories from templates as well; if passed the code "{{my template}}
", it will return the template output minus the categories.
The template properly handles categories escaped with the colon trick, categories whose names include invalid characters such as ">
", and categories that are surrounded with nowiki tags. However, it does not support complex wikitext such as nested links or magic words like __TOC__
. Even so, it should still remove the vast majority of categories from any given wikitext.
Usage
