=== Description ===
This template allows a transcript page (full or 5X5) to be categorized with a sortkey that ensures the proper numerical order. For example:
* SGU Episode 2
* SGU Episode 35
* SGU Episode 143
 
Without this sort key, page names are sorted as a string, and the episodes in the above example would be listed on the category page as:
* SGU Episode 143
* SGU Episode 2
* SGU Episode 35
 
This template is useful when categories are applied automatically, using another template (e.g. [[Template:Editing required]]).
 
=== Usage ===
There are two compulsory parameters:
* page &ndash; the page to be categorized. When used in a template, this should be <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code>.
* category &ndash; the category the page is to be added to. This is case sensitive.

Description

This template allows a transcript page (full or 5X5) to be categorized with a sortkey that ensures the proper numerical order. For example:

  • SGU Episode 2
  • SGU Episode 35
  • SGU Episode 143

Without this sort key, page names are sorted as a string, and the episodes in the above example would be listed on the category page as:

  • SGU Episode 143
  • SGU Episode 2
  • SGU Episode 35

This template is useful when categories are applied automatically, using another template (e.g. Template:Editing required).

Usage

There are two compulsory parameters:

  • page – the page to be categorized. When used in a template, this should be {{PAGENAME}}.
  • category – the category the page is to be added to. This is case sensitive.
{{Template:Numerical titles
|page      =
|category  =
}}

Example

{{Template:Numerical titles
|page      = {{PAGENAME}}
|category  = Science & Medicine
}}
