Create Category/composite: Publications overview

Explains the purpose of this category, property, or subobject.

Human-readable name shown instead of the internal name.

Where pages of this category are created (e.g., Main, User).

How to lay out the page (table or sidebox). Ignored when Has display template is set — the custom template takes precedence.

Custom template for rendering a category's page layout. When set, this overrides the display format — the standard Category/table or Category/sidebox call is suppressed and only this template is rendered.

Custom template for rendering an entire subobject section. Set on a Subobject field declaration inside a category to override the default per-subobject table layout — the dispatcher emits a single call to this template (with category= and page= params) in place of the built-in #ask pipeline, so the template can aggregate all subobjects into one table, card grid, timeline, or any layout you want.

Properties whose incoming links should be shown as backlinks on pages in this category.

The property this field declaration references.

Whether this field is required or optional.

Custom template for rendering this property's value in display tables (e.g. Template:Property/Email for mailto links). Set on a Property page for a default that applies wherever the property is used, or on a Property field/subobject in a category to override the default for that category.

The category this subobject field declaration references.

Whether this field is required or optional.
