Template:CatDiffuse

This category has become too crowded. It should list very few images directly. Files should be moved to subcategories where appropriate. New subcategories can be created. Some files need to be moved elsewhere. Search for more categories: fulltext, Main Page, topics, meta categories. Please remove or replace this tag afterwards.

Use this tag temporarily, just for categories which require one-shot diffusion. For main categories requiring permanent control use {{Categorise}}, for metacategories ("by country", "by name" etc.) use {{MetaCat}} or its more specialized variants.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Categories requiring temporary diffusion

Usage

{{CatDiffuse}}

Or use the shorthand

Add this template to categories that became too large, unclear or confusingly bulked. Use this just for tagging categories to get sorted once, and remove if category is suitably sorted. For main categories requiring permanent control because of being frequently used in situations where a subcategory would be more appropriate, use {{Categorise}}.

The template takes no parameters.
