This [[:Category:Category templates|category template]] can be used on any 'unpopulated' [[Special:Categories|category]] pages, ie, [[Special:UnusedCategories|empty categories]] (or sparsely populated categories).  Its' purpose is to prompt editors to add any [[:Category:Wikis to add|new]] or [[:Category:All|existing articles]]; or to create completely new articles here on WikiIndex, to the highlighted category.

To include this template banner on any relevent empty or sparsely populuated category, simply copy <code><nowiki>{{PopulateCategory}}</nowiki></code> and paste it into said category edit box and save.  The text highlighted in grey-white (after '''''a)''''', '''''b)''''' and '''''c)''''' examples) in the template will automatically change to the relevant article or category name.  Usage of this template will automatically include the said category into [[:category: Categories needing populating]].
