Topic on Project:Support desk

Not sure if this is possible or not but can you have a Template value set as the category. Simple testing (MW 1.21) seems to indicate not but is there a special format to do this that I have been unable to locate?

Any help is much appreciated - even a nope it can't be done.

eg On entry page in edit mode

{{Example Template
|name=
|number=
}}

Template:Example Template page
Name:{{{name}}}<br>                    
Number:{{{number}}}<br> 

[[Category:{{{name}}}]]

Thanks

Should ahve tried harder before asking

Parser Functions will make this work at least at some level.

The below will also check if value1 is empty

{{#if:{{{value1|}}}| Value1:[[{{{value1}}}]][[Category:{{{value1}}}]]}}

I guess you resolved your problem. Let us know if not :)
