Template:Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler is used on categories that contain character, element, episode or location redirects to lists (in the style of [[Category:series-name content-type redirects to lists]]), such as Category:Arrow (TV series) episode redirects to lists.

What it does

The template will perform the following:

• Italicize the series name in the category title.
• Add the {{Redirect category}} header.
• Add a DEFAULTSORT sort key to the category.
• Add {{CatAutoTOC}} to handle the category table of contents.
• Place the category as a sub-category of:
  • [[:Category:series-name content-type|*]] and [[Category:series-name redirects|content-type]] — if they exist.
  • [[:Category:series-name|content-type]] — if not placed in any of the above categories.
• Place the category as a sub-category of a relevant main category or a media specific one if |media= is used:
  • Category:Episode redirects to lists or a media specific one such as Category:Animated television series episode redirects to lists
  • Category:Redirects from fictional characters or a media specific one such as Category:Television character redirects to lists
  • Category:Redirects from fictional elements or a media specific one such as Category:Television element redirects to lists
  • Category:Redirects from fictional locations or a media specific one such as Category:Television location redirects.

Notes

• This templates expects that the category be named Category:series-name content-type redirects to lists or Category:series-name content-type redirects for location categories only.
  • Example: Category:Arrow (TV series) character redirects to lists and Category:Arrow (TV series) location redirects.
• The series-name should be the exact name used for the title of the series article, including disambiguation if used.
• The content-type used will be taken from the category name and be one of either "character", "element" "episode", or "location".

• {{Fiction-based redirects to list entries category handler|media=}}
