For many languages, this category may grow too large, and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization#Subcategorization" title="Wikipedia:Categorization">subcategorization</a> is needed. The suite of Expand language templates supports subcategorization into a number of pre-defined subcategories, and provides an easy way of indicating subcategorization by using the <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> param in the template, instead of having to know about a complex set of category naming or remember the category names. This page explains how to do that. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236298596"><div class="fake-heading h3">Categorizing articles needing translation</div> <p>Adding a new topic goes hand in hand with creating a new subcategory in which to categorize articles needing expansion.

In order to facilitate a better and more useful categorization, the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Expand_language" title="Template:Expand language">Expand language</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> suite of templates supports subcategorization into a number of subcategories using the <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> parameter of the language-specific templates, such as <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Expand_French" title="Template:Expand French">Expand French</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> or <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Expand German</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. Ten <b>topic codes</b> are defined, such as <i>bio</i> (for 'Biography') and <i>mil</i> (for 'Military'): when used as the value of the <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> parameter, they imply (but do not automatically create) a subcategory of a specific name. For example: </p> <dl><dd><span class="nowrap"><code>{{Expand German|topic=bio}}</code></span></dd></dl> <p>would categorize the article in which it appears into subcategory ⟶ <a href="/wiki/Category:Biography_articles_needing_translation_from_German_Wikipedia" title="Category:Biography articles needing translation from German Wikipedia">Category:Biography articles needing translation from German Wikipedia</a> . </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236298596"><div class="fake-heading h3">Topic codes and topic names</div> <p>The rows in the <a href="/wiki/Template:Expand_language#Topics_and_categorization" title="Template:Expand language">topic code table</a> show what subcategories already exist under the top level category for a given language; for example, for German, the topic code table is <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Topics_and_categorization">here</a>.

To enable <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> to be used to categorize the article on which it appears into the associated subcategory requires this code to be set up correctly; if the wikicode does not already have it, you can copy the <var style="padding-right: 1px;">#switch</var> statement that assigns the value of <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> from <a href="/wiki/Template:Expand_French" title="Template:Expand French">Template:Expand French</a>. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236298596"><div class="fake-heading h3">Classify articles into the new subcategory</div> <p>To classify articles into the new subcategory, use a specific Expand language template with the <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=</code> param. </p> <dl><dd><ul><li>Edit the article and find the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Expand German</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> template</li> <li>Paste <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|topic=bio</code> into the template call; it can go anywhere, but after the name is good, e.g.: <dl><dd><span class="nowrap"><code>{{Expand German|John Doe<b><span style="color:green;">|topic=bio</span></b>|date=November 2024}}</code></span></dd></dl></li> <li>Add an edit summary e.g., "<i>Added topic=bio to Expand template.</i>"; Preview as needed, and Publish.</li></ul></dd></dl> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236298596"><div class="fake-heading h3">Creating non-standard subcategories and topic codes</div> <p>Topic codes that are not among the standard ten may be created for specific languages and associated with new subcategories as needed.
