Template talk:Category link

message: The link is now piped to the name of the category prefixed with "Cat:" to help indicate that this is a link to a category. DES (talk) 13:32, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format 

message: Does anyone object to just spelling the word out properly? There's no need not to since its in a template, and it could then usefully be used in nomination titles over at WP:CFD where by convention we use the full word. -Splashtalk 19:15, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cat &rarr; Category 

message: Hey!? Who stuffed around with the template? it was deliberately left at just Cat: so as not to take up space! Increasing it to its fuull length means its no longer useful for sfd-current. Grutness...wha? 08:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Hey!?

message: I feel it's unnceissary to only type Cat in the tempalte, and not Category. →AzaToth 16:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See the section right above this one. Perhaps there is space for both an abbreviated and a non-abbreviated template? Kusma (討論) 16:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  change cat to category 

message: Since categories should always be capitalized, this template should make the first character of the category name upper-case, like so:
Cat:

thread_title:  First character upper-case 

message: Because Template:Category redirects here, I believe there should be some mention of the template , which some people might be looking for. Perhaps in a hatnote? \sim Lenoxus " * " 22:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hatnote should mention Template:Wikipedia category 

message: I would like to concur with the people above that said it is silly to abbreviate "Category:" as "Cat:" in this template.  Grutness, seems to say (in 2005) that there is some reason it shouldn't be spelled out, can anyone explain what that is?  Dragons flight (talk) 20:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is still used by Grutness in SfD, and a few others, although some there seems to prefer spelling it out, and indeed using the  :Category:Living people format there.  A template hack will allow them to carry on, while fixing those articles that use the template. Rich Farmbrough, 14:37, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK havk in progress, but we should ask them igf they need the abbreviation to Cat: as hacks are bad. Rich Farmbrough, 14:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
