Categories about sources should only be in ''other'' categories about sources.<!-- | |||

If it finds that the letters are "se", then that indicates the most common syntax for a "stories set in" category. However, there are two main constructions, and so a second switch has to go in here. If it finds that the three letters after the 15th position -- that is, the word after "stories set in" -- is the word "the", then it knows that the construction is like "stories set in THE 1890s", and it offers an inline category that is based only on the expression AFTER the word "the". So, in the case of "stories set in the 1890s", the code returns [[category:1890s]]. Note, too, that it checks to see whether there IS such a category first. If it finds one, it links to it. If it does find it, then it merely bolds the expression, category:1890s. | |||
-->|se={{#switch:{{#sub:{{PAGENAME}}|15|3}} | |||

the default of this nested switch are categories like those in the form, "stories set in <wherever/whenever>". This works just like the above. All the categories whose first two words are "stories set", but which don't have a fourth word "the", will be handled by this rule. So, things like "stories set in New York City" or "stories set in 2010", or even things like "stories set on Earth" respond to the following code: | |||
-->|#default=like '''category:{{{1|{{#sub:{{PAGENAME}}|15|}}}}}''' | |||
|like '''category:{{{1|{{#sub:{{PAGENAME}}|15|}}}}}''' or any category that doesn't have the word '''''stories''''' or '''''sources''''' in it. Categories about sources should only be in ''other'' categories about sources.}}}}</div> | |||

Ooucat is an out-of-universe category. Don't put it in an in-universe category
This template is placed on category pages that have the word "stories" or "sources" in their titles. It reacts very differently depending on the category page on which it's placed. Its various forms can't be shown to you on this page. If you're curious about this code, take a look! It's fully annotated.
