== Usage ==
The template will display <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki>, or just the category name given as <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>.

The function is different for internal access within the commons, and for interwiki access.

=== Adressing categories within the commons ===
First of all, always a check for existence is performed.

When the category exists, code is implemented as:
:<nowiki>[[:Category:{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]]</nowiki>

If the category <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> does not exist no link will be generated;
:[[''Category'':{{{1}}}]] or [[''Category'':{{{2}}}]] is displayed
:[[''Category'':<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>]] or [[''Category'':<nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki>]] is displayed when {{{3}}} = x
:<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki> will get background color when {{{3}}} = X

;example
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Internal link templates}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Internal link templates}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Internal link templates|}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Internal link templates|}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Internal link templates|C:''display''text}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Internal link templates|C:''display''text}}

*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat|display}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat|display}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat|3=x}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat|3=x}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat|display-cat|x}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat|display-cat|x}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat|3=X}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat|3=X}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|not-existing-cat|displayname|X}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|not-existing-cat|displayname|X}}

=== Interwiki access ===
It is not possible to check for existence in other Wikipedias. The link is always established, whether the category exists or not.

*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Main||en}}</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>{{C|Main|3=en}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Main||en}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Wikipedia:Hilfe|German help pages|de}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Wikipedia:Hilfe|German help pages|de}}
*<tt><nowiki>{{C|Accueil|Catégorie:Accueil|fr}}</nowiki></tt> produces {{C|Accueil|Catégorie:Accueil|fr}}
