{{tlb|Commons category}} links to a "Category:" name in the [[Wikimedia Commons]] repository (edited using a Wikimedia [[login]] name). If that category name is misspelled or missing, the link will still appear "{{Blue|blue}}" even though the link will fail. Check spelling of names carefully.
{{tsh|Ccat|Commonscat}}
==Usage==
:{|
|-
|{{tl2|Commons category}}||width=16px valign=top|&ndash;|| puts link-box with current page's name as the category.
|-
|{{tl2|Commons category|''catnam''}}||&ndash;|| puts link-box connecting title ''catnam''.
|-
|{{tl2|Commons category|''catnam''|''shownam''}}||&ndash;|| puts link-box showing the title ''shownam''.
|-
|{{tl2|Commons category |''catnam''|3=position=left}}||valign=top|&ndash;|| floats link-box to the left side, as option to align box to left-margin.
|}

The two parameters ''catnam'' and ''shownam'' (1 & 2) are optional, and are intended for cases where the Commons category name is different from the Wikipedia page name. The first parameter is the name of the corresponding category on the Wikimedia Commons, ''without'' the "<tt>Category:</tt>" prefix. If this first parameter is used, then the template will display the Commons category name, which may be confusing to readers. This text can be overridden by the second parameter, where the Wikipedia page name would typically be used.

{{Commons category|Ursus maritimus|Polar bears}}
For example, on the [[Polar bear]] page, <tt><nowiki>{{Commons category|Ursus maritimus|Polar bears}}</nowiki></tt> produces a link to [[Commons:Category:Ursus maritimus]] displayed as "[[Commons:Category:Ursus maritimus|Polar bears]]". 

The parameter {{para|position}} accepts one value, {{para|position|left}}l, that moves the box to the left side, instead of the default right side. More information may be found at [[Template:Side box]]. The template can also be floated left by using a [[Colon (typography)|colon]] (:) before it. 

==Location==
[[File:Sister link template columns problem.jpg|thumb|If using a large, graphical template produces odd layout problems, like the excessive white space shown on the right of this screenshot, then switch to a different ''sister template''.]]

{{cross}} '''Do not place this template in a section containing columns without floating left.'''

In articles, this template should be placed at the ''top'' of the ==External links== section, or at the top of the last section on the page, if no [[WP:external links|external links]] section exists. On [[WP:disambiguation pages|disambiguation pages]], this template is usually placed at the top of the page.  See [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects#Where to place links]] for more information and alternatives.

In categories, this template should be grouped with other templates at the beginning of the category introduction. This avoids unnecessary white space as any text is floated around the template boxes.
