This template adds the current user page to as many as ten user categories. This template may be used directly on your user page or following a user template. This template will only declare categories in the User namespace (NS:2) (other than User:UBX), and will not declare categories in other namespaces. This template may be used with Template:Userbox to create userboxes that only declare user categories in the User namespace.

To use this template, place the following line of Help:Wikitext after a user template or alone on your user page:

{{ucat|usercat01|...|usercat10|nocat=}}

where:

  • usercat01|...|usercat10 are the base names of up to 10 user categories.
  • nocat= is the optional category declaration switch:
    • nocat=false declare the user categories if in User namespace (NS:2) except User:UBX. (default)
    • nocat=true do not declare any categories.

Caution: If Template:Ucat is used after a userbox template in the User namespace (NS:2) other than User:UBX (most commonly your own user namespace), it must be enclosed in "includeonly" brackets, e.g. <includeonly>{{ucat|Wikipedian cyclists}}</includeonly>
This prevents Template:Ucat from including the user template itself in the category or categories.
