Usage
[edit]- Normal
{{Songs category}}
- Special
{{Songs category|<article name>|display=<display name>|the=<any text>}}
The article name should only be specified if it is different from that in the category name. Per normal categorization rules this should rarely be the case.
The <display name>
is only needed if it is different from the article name, for example {{Songs category|Amazing Rhythm Aces|display=the Amazing Rhythm Aces}}
. Alternatively use the=
, for example {{Songs category|Amazing Rhythm Aces|the=yes}}
to provide an unlinked "the" before the band name.
