====Template talk page content====

Included in: Wikipedia:Template messages/Project namespace#Policies and guidelines
This template only works if the first parameter is as well the *exact* name of a wikipedia category and the *exact* name of a page in the "wikipedia:" namespace explaining that category, for example:
<guideline category> parameter	Category name                          	Project namespace page
naming conventions            	:category:wikipedia naming conventions 	wikipedia:naming conventions
how-to                        	:category:wikipedia how-to             	wikipedia:how-to
deletion                      	:category:wikipedia deletion           	wikipedia:deletion
coherence                     	:category:wikipedia coherence          	wikipedia:coherence
notability criteria           	:category:wikipedia notability criteria	wikipedia:notability criteria(redirects to: Wikipedia:Notability)
;Notes
# deprecated
;Case
*Type the <guideline category> entirely lower case, choosing the exact format and spelling as in the first column of the table above (e.g. "how-to" and not "HowTo" or any other variation); Don't add "category:" nor "wikipedia " nor "wikipedia:" for the first parameter.
*Start the first word of <category sort key> without space after the pipe and start it always with an upper case, regardless of whether the corresponding guideline and/or wikipedia category have that word with an upper case.
;Guidelines on style
This template presently does not work for style guidelines:
*Category name: Wikipedia style guidelines
*Guideline page: Manual of Style
So, for style guidelines, use  instead!

====Discussion====
:Imported TfD discussion (29 October 2005):
A somewhat confusing template used for putting Wikipedia pages in a subcat of :Category:Wikipedia guidelines. It is, however, redundant since afaik most of those categories already have different templates that are better worded. Radiant_>|< 00:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, no, "most of those categories" have not different templates; the only guideline subcategory that has its own template are style guidelines. All other subcategories of the guidelines category are served only by this template, that can be used for these four subcategory types.
