Wikimedia Commons has media related to:

[[Commons:Category:{{{1}}}|]]

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Commons cat multi/doc. (edit | history)

Usage

This template is similar to "Commonscat" but shows 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 categories (the name "show2" is easier to use than would be "show-n") and allows changing width or floating the box to the left.

Usage:   {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2 | align=left | width=20em}}

Usage:   {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2 | topic3}}

Usage:   {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | topic2 | topic3 | topic4}}

Usage:   {{Commonscat_show2| topic1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5 | t6}}

See examples, further below. The template will state "Wikimedia Commons has media related to (category):..." and then display the first 2 topic names in bold/italics as "topic1 or topic2" (as links). The optional topics 3 or 4 would be on the next line ("or topic3 or topic4"). Optional topics 5 and 6 would be on a third line. Other optional parameters:

• align=left - shifts the box to the left margin (default: right)
• width=20em - can be added to widen the box for longer words (such as by "width=24em").

Note that the topic names should exist as category names in Wikimedia Commons (edited using a Wikimedia login name).
