catlangcode[edit]
"{{catlangcode|nl|Mammals}}" is too long. (even though I created Template:catlangcode in 2010 now I am thinking there could be a better name) It is also basically the same as writing "[[Category:nl:Mammals]]", just a few keystrokes change.
Suggestion:
Use a single template for all the topics, perhaps except the categories that are already being templatized by {{label}}
:
{{topics|nl|Category1|Category2|Category3|Category4}}
What do you think? Looks good?
P.S. {{topics}}
already exists but it a redirect not used anywhere. --Daniel 15:20, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

{{topics}}
and tested it on a single entry, see here for the diff where the template is added to the entry. --Daniel 14:00, 16 May 2015 (UTC){{catlangcode}}

was a redirect to it. —CodeCat 14:04, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
