{{Hidecat/doc}} is used to automatically hide categories. It also leaves behind a message telling other readers that the category has been hidden.
Usage
On category pages only, type
{{hidecat}}.
Please note that categories generally should not be hidden. This template is only for use in exceptional cases where there is good cause to hide categories. Remember, too, that the hiding of categories can be easily overridden by users who explore their Special:Preferences just a bit.
Display
Users cannot see it by default. In order to see it on pages where it has been placed, users must click an option in Special:Preferences.
In general, categories should not be hidden. However, in the case of categories which are created solely for use with advanced coding functions like DPL or SMW, then it can be useful to hide them.
Please do not remove this message from this page without discussion at the Panopticon.
