[Mediawiki-l] Call Template without "getting" its categories

Wed Apr 26 11:50:44 UTC 2006

Hello All!

I have a little editing problem:

I have some templates that use the following syntax:

 Bla bla
 Bla bla
 <includeonly> [[category:Bla Pages]] </includeonly>

Well, what happens is that the template itself does not belong to any
category, but, let say, a page called The Bla, and if it calls the template
{{bla}}, it gets immediately belongs to the category Bla Pages.

So far so good.

Now, lets say that I have some help page (Help:Bla), and in the help page I
would like to demonstrate the template Bla.
Therefore, what I do is
 <nowiki>{{Bla}}</nowiki> will show {{Bla}}.
What happens now, and here is the problem, is that the page called Help:Bla
is now categorized in Bla Pages, and that is the thing I would like to avoid
from.

Any idea how?

Is there a thing such as calling the template without its categories?

Thanks!
