Usage

Usual syntax
{{Category see also|List of category names (one or more)}}

Parameters:

  1. Most are pipe character separated category page names; up to 40 pages
  2. LABEL=Some other phrase... → replaces defaults: "See also category:" or "See also categories:" (prefix messages).
    1. That phrase is normally italicized. When defining LABEL any wikimarkup or HTML text will be accepted.
    2. You may assume a space before the first category link.
    3. The template is written in an HTML <span>...</span> block, so can be used in-line as part of a sentence. Conversely, an editing must ensure a blank line or HTML "<br/>" follows it, or the text may be run the next line into it.
Simple examples
  1. {{Category see also|A}} →

  2. {{Category see also|A|B}} →

  3. {{Category see also|A|B|C}} →
example w/default message
{{Category see also|aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|eee}}
would give (display as)
See also categories: aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, and eee
example w/LABEL parameter option
{{Category see also|LABEL=See this list to evaluate whether one would be a better choice of |aaa | bbb | ccc | ddd | eee | fff }}
would give (display as)
See this list to evaluate whether one would be a better choice of categories: aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd, eee, and fff

Categories

Category-specific templates:

This is a template for linking categories horizontally. Horizontal linkage is often the right solution when vertical linkage (i.e., as sub-category and parent category) is not appropriate. In most cases, this template should be used on both categories to create reciprocal linkage between the two categories.
