Usage

{{Category description |1= }}

The template Category description with its numerous subtemplates can be used on a category page to describe the content of the category and display links to related other categories. It is meant to be used in cases where a number of categories share the same basic description and the same naming scheme, and for each such group of categories, a subtemplate exists. For example, the categories Nature of the canton of Graubünden and Nature of Nitra Region both use the same subtemplate {{Category description/Nature by administrative division}}.
