Template:Underpopulated category/doc

Usage
This template places categories into Category:Underpopulated categories. Change this with the optional first unnamed parameter, shown below, which will place the category into the parent categories listed below. Or, if there is a significant number of categories relating to one topic, create a new subcategory, add the parameter as shown here, and document it on this page.

Do not use this template on a category that may legitimately have few or no articles, pages, or other members. Such a category may need the  template.

Note that underpopulated categories and its relevant subcategories (as below) contain over 4,000 supposedly underpopulated categories, and has had a backlog for over 3 years. Please keep this in mind and use discretion before adding this to any category.

Multiple parameters
In some situations, it may be appropriate to use more than one subcategory. This can be achieved by adding more that one parameter

Category count
If the category member has more than 25 categories, it is automatically placed in Category:Categories with incorrect underpopulated category template. You can change the threshold with the count parameter. For example, to mark a category as underpopulated when it has below 50 members, use 50.

Category parameter
To suppress category output, use a blank category parameter. You can also use this parameter to specify an alternative category to Category:Underpopulated categories, e.g. category. It will override all categories specified with the positional parameters.

Pages parameters
The word "articles" can be changed to something else, e.g. with pages, templates, files, etc.
