[[{{{1}}}_Flags|{{{1}}}]][[Category:{{{1}}}_Flags]] This template creates a link and adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of Category:INI_Flags.

Usage

This is intented to be used with Template:Flag to link to certain pages, while adding the flags categories as well. It is not meant to be used as a shortcut for writing out a link to a category page.

For {{{types}}} in Template:Flag

Certain titles of subcategories of Category:INI_Flags exclude the terminating "s" that is present in the corresponding article's page. For example, the title of Warheads contains a terminating "s", while Category:Warhead_Flags does not. Although {{Categ|Warhead|Warheads}} would function correctly, this template automatically accounts for the terminating "s" if {{Categ|Warheads}} were used instead.1

{{Categ|InfantryTypes}}

This code yields InfantryTypes and includes the page in Category:InfantryTypes_Flags.

Should customized hypertext be necessary, {{{2}}} can be used:

{{Categ|InfantryTypes|infantry}}

This code yields infantry and includes the page in Category:InfantryTypes_Flags.

TechnoTypes

{{Categ|Technoes}}

This is a special case that generates categories and links for TechnoTypes, as well as the four subclasses. This should be used instead of {{Categ|TechnoTypes}}. Other parameter values that achieve this effect are Technos, AllTechnoes, AllTechnos, and AllTechnoTypes.

For {{{files}}} in Template:Flag

When this template is used for the value of {{{files}}} in Template:Flag, {{{ini}}} should be used to specify the correct ini-file.

{{Categ|ini=art}}

This code yields art(md).ini and includes the page in Category:art(md).ini_Flags.

Should customized hypertext be necessary, {{{1}}} can be used:

{{Categ|ini=art|art}}

This code yields art and includes the page in Category:art(md).ini_Flags.

Notes

1 This template is automagically delicious.
