Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Category search by/doc.

Provides links to search under a category (if parameter mode is set to incategory) or category tree (default setting, utilising deepcategory). Function realised in subtemplates:

• Template:Category search by/month
• Template:Category search by/filetype
  • Template:Category search by/filetypeV (two-column vertical alternative)

You can also directly use them.

The simplest transclusion {{Category search by}} displays both Template:Category search by/month and Template:Category search by/filetype by default. You can also selectively hide them by setting #Template parameters.

Template:Category search by/month makes use of regex search (insource:/[0-9]{4}-01/ for January). This can only find file pages with for example "2022-01" in wikitext.

Template:Category search by/filetype might not be complete, depending on the list of options available: mw:Help:CirrusSearch#filetype. Extension options follow descending order of the number of files according to Special:MediaStatistics.

A horizontal version https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=989785883 was also tested but not made into a subtemplate because it doesnt appear useful, especially for mobile users.
