Usage

Tag categories with {{Container category}} to inform editors that they should not contain anything other than subcategories.

The categories will be added to Category:Container categories. If the template is transcluded on a page outside of the category namespace, the page will not be added to Category:Container categories.

Do not substitute this template.

Categories that are part of Wikipedia administration should be tagged with {{Wikipedia category}} instead.
