Template:Language Category — this category is for wiki sites whose subject matter is, or discusses the Language Category language.

See also category: Multilingual – for wiki sites with a subject matter of more than one language.

For those wikis whose contents are written in their actual language (ie, not English), they should go into their relevant Wiki Language sub-category instead. In this instance, wikis with contents written in Language Category should be included in category: Wiki Language Category instead. See also category: Wiki Multilingual – for those wikis written in more than one language.



For

This language template is used on individual sub-category pages ONLY within category: Language. Its purpose is to render a standard header text for a language category, along with an interwiki link to the relevant language article on the English Wikipedia wiki. Usage of this Template:Language Category will auto-include categories as a sub-category within category: Language. This template should not be used anywhere else.

Usage

Simply select (highlight) {{Language Category}} and copy (Ctrl+c or ⌘c on your keyboard), then paste (Ctrl+v or ⌘v) at the top of the edit box of the required language category.

It will also be helpful to add a further one- or two-line brief explanation (two carriage returns after the end of the {{Language Category}} template code) about where, or which countries the specific language is used in. For an example of the Oromo language category, the following was added:

The '''Oromo language''' is an {{Wp|Afroasiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic language}}; spoken by the {{Wp|Oromo people}}, and the neighbouring peoples in {{tag|Ethiopia}} and {{tag|Kenya}}.

Which displays

The Oromo language is an Afro-Asiatic language; spoken by the Oromo people, and the neighbouring peoples in Ethiopia and Kenya.
