- Usage
This category template can be used on any 'unpopulated' category pages, ie, empty categories (or sparsely populated categories). Its' purpose is to prompt editors to add any new or existing articles, including stub articles; or to create completely new articles here on WikiIndex, to the highlighted category.
To include this template banner on any relevant empty or sparsely populated category, simply copy {{PopulateCategory}} 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.
