Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on approximately 48,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template should not be substituted.

Usage

  • {{Sockpuppet category}} – covers most cases
  • {{Sockpuppet category|Sock name}} – for exceedingly long names or with unusual characters: the four characters will need to be encoded as for example, " or & or ' see T18474)

This content template simplifies and standardizes the creation, categorization, description, and maintenance of sockpuppet categories. It will automatically detect the sockmaster name and whether the category lists suspected or confirmed sockpuppets from the page title.

If the template is used incorrectly, it will categorize the page to Pages that use the Sockpuppet category template incorrectly. The following incorrect uses are conditions which will cause the page to appear in this category:

  • the template is used on a page with a title different than "Category:Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of <username>" or "Category:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of <username>".
  • excess parameters are supplied (parameter 1 is allowed for backwards compatibility and will override the category name)
  • The template is used on a non-category page.
