[edit] Usage
This currently defines 3 parser functions for category testing.
{{#ifcategory:category|then|else|page}}-- tests if the given page is in the category given, then displays "then" or "else" (or current page if no page is given).{{#ifnocategories:then|else|page}}-- tests if the given page does not belong in any categories, then displays "then" or "else" (or current page if no page is given).{{#switchcategory:category1=result1|category2=result2|...|default}}-- Operates like the ParserFunctions#switch, but doesn't take an initial parameter (it just starts cycling through right away) and tests if the page is in those categories instead of comparing it to a value. You can specify to test other pages using#page=pagename, where it would then test that page instead of the current page until the next#pagedefinition, in which case it will test that page now instead. Making#pageempty resets it to the current page. If your default case needs an equals sign, you may use#defaultto declare it.
