{{High-use| 2420 }}
== Usage ==
This template can be used on template documentation pages to ensure that any given template sandbox does not populate its main template's category(ies).

This template has two unnamed parameters, {{para|1}} and {{para|2}}. Near the bottom of a /doc page where the categories are usually placed, install this template as follows:
<pre>
<includeonly>{{sandbox other||
<!-- Categories go below this line; interwikis go to Wikidata -->
[[Category:(first category)]]
[[Category:(second category)]]
(more categories if needed)

}}</includeonly>
</pre>

* Usage of an empty first parameter (two pipes together, {{code|<nowiki>||</nowiki>}}, at the end of the first line of code above) essentially means {{para|1|(do nothing)}} and will not allow the sandbox page to populate the listed categories.
* Note that the closing template braces ({{code|<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}}) are placed just before the &#60;/includeonly> tag. This is the same as {{para|2|(category comment and categories)}}. In "long hand" it may appear as follows:
<pre>
<includeonly>{{sandbox other|1=<!-- keep sandbox out of categories -->|2=
<!-- Categories go below this line; interwikis go to Wikidata -->
[[Category:(first category)]]
[[Category:(second category)]]
(more categories if needed)

}}</includeonly>
</pre>
