Template:Wiki category
{{Wiki category}} links to a "Category:" name in the Wikipedia repository. This template exists as an alternative to {{Commons category}} for when media is instead hosted on Wikipedia. This is especially common for images not acceptable on Commons, such as images only free in the US under Freedom of Panorama laws.
Usage
[kulemba source]The parameter |position= accepts one value, |position=left, that moves the box to the left side, instead of the default right side. More information may be found at Template:Side box.
