Note:Hidden content when viewing directly--template generates an error message when given no parameters.
Use example
- Bobsledding, luge, and skeleton are olympic sports properly subcategorized under 'sledding', so shouldn't appear (strictly speaking categorically so to speak) as sub-categories of 'winter sports', but which a lay reader using categories might expect to find them. Template:I2So to show their presence and guide proper selections for editors choosing categories amongst the three layers of categories, one can include the sub-sub-categories as a see also annotation on the Template:Cat page such as:
Template:Cat see also This method efficiently provides a look one level lower for decisions on categorization, is neat, and provides the same link as if the sub-sub-cats were direct daughter sub-cats or parents or cross-links to sisters at that level of the categorization scheme.
Purpose
{{Cat see also}} is used for small sets of see also (list of other categories) for information in the end of text on category pages or talk pages, etc.
- The parameters may be preceded by any 'correct' optional sister projects 'SISTER=' parameter which is first applied to all the default prefixes by template logic.
- By default, that creates an automatic prefix that is solely the string 'Category'
- and when the 'SISTER=' perameter is given, an automatic ':'will be added between that and the defined value of 'SISTER='.
- Thus the concatation with a 'SISTER=Wikt' results in creating an applied prefix 'Wikt:Category:' which is prefixed to all terms in the list.
- Hence the template has a very powerful 'Interwiki scope' thereby allowing one to list Categories on other sister projects.
- The template will take up to forty category names.
Usage
- {{See also:|Category Name_1|optionalCategory Name_2|optionalCategory Name_nn|...|optionalCategory Name_ 15}}
- Up to 15 parameters are permitted: only the first is mandatory.
- The list is dynamically generated so that a "
&
" is always placed between the final two entries. - If more than 15 entries are supplied, a message will be displayed pointing out the run-over problem.
- NB
- no newlines are permitted else the article links will be broken.Template:I2

Template:Tlw -- a larger adaptation with some optional display differences, and the same interwiki capability. Unlike cat see also, it does not force a newline and indentation, which can be duplicated in it's wider bag of tricks. This version is smaller and should be used Template:Tlw Template:I-- e.g. - {{Details|A|B|C}} --> Template:Details Template:Tlw Template:I-- e.g. - {{Further|A|B|C}} --> Template:Further

Template:Tlw, to use when you have more than one main article, primarily for use in category text, not Wikipedia Template:NAMCON compliant inside articles. Template:I-- e.g. - {{mainBold|A|B|C}}
