Editing Module:Category handler/doc (section)

=== Subpages ===

The category handler module understands the '''subpage''' parameter. Like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
p = {}
local categoryHandler = require( 'Module:Category handler' ).main

function p.main( frame )
    local result = 'This is a module used in all namespaces.'
    local category = categoryHandler{
        subpage = 'no' -- Don't categorize on subpages
        wikipedia = '[[Category:Somecat]]',
        nocat = frame.args.nocat -- So "nocat=true/false" works
    }
    category = category or '' -- Check that we don't have a nil value for the category variable.
    return result .. category
end

return p
</syntaxhighlight>

If "<code>subpage='no'</code>" then this template will ''not'' categorize on subpages. For the rare occasion you ''only'' want to categorize on subpages, then use "<code>subpage='only'</code>". If '''subpage''' is empty or undefined then this template categorizes both on basepages and on subpages.
