Template:Suffix cat

This template should be used on pages in the Category: namespace, and automatically generates descriptions and categorization for categories of a recognized type (see below). It is implemented by Module:category tree and its submodule Module:category tree/affix cat. It is preferable not to invoke this template directly, but to simply use {{auto cat}} (with no parameters), which will automatically invoke this template on appropriately-named category pages.

This template generates a short description for categories of suffixes of various languages. If no alternative display form of the suffix is needed, just use {{auto cat}}.

Parameters

|1=

The language code.

|2=

The suffix (without a hyphen, if the script uses hyphens).

|3=

The displayed form of the suffix, without a hyphen. If not provided, it will be the same as the second parameter. Equivalent to the second parameter of {{l}}.

|pos=

The part of speech, which is used as part of the category's name. This should match the |pos= parameter given to {{suffix}}. If not provided, it will default to term.

|id=

The sense id. This is the word or phrase in parentheses at the end of the category name: for example, Category:English words suffixed with -er (action noun). There should also be a {{senseid}} in the entry for the suffix that matches the sense id in the category name.

|sort=

The category sort key. If not provided, it will use the suffix itself as the sort key.
