Template:Subcat guideline/doc

Usage

{{Subcat guideline/doc|<guideline category>|<category sort key>|<shortcut>|<shortcut>|...}}

New or greatly modified guidelines require approval

If you're writing a new guideline or substantially revising one, please remember to give the community significant time to consider your proposal. See WP:PROPOSAL for the current best practices on requesting comments on a proposal from as wide a part of the community as possible.

For more suggestions and background on how to go from a proposal to a Wikipedia style guideline, see Category:Wikipedia proposals and Wikipedia:How to contribute to Wikipedia guidance.
