Usage
[edit]This template inserts the following comment:
<!-- This notice is here because this article is believed to define the category [[Category:{{{1}}}]]. As explained at [[Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes]], an article which defines a category as well as being in a higher category should be in ''both''; therefore, this article should not only be in [[Category:{{{1}}}]], but in the parent categories of [[Category:{{{1}}}]]. Please do not remove this article from those categories unless you dispute that this article is a defining article of [[Category:{{{1}}}]]; if you dispute this, please discuss the matter either at the talk page of this article or at the talk page for [[Category:{{{1}}}]].-->
Don't forget to actually include the name of the category as a parameter. This template should always be subst'ed, or else the actual text will never be seen by the reader.
