Template:DEFAULTSORT/doc

This is the documentation page for Template:DEFAULTSORT.
This page is not intended to be viewed directly. Links using variables may appear broken; do not replace these with hardcoded page names or URLs.

Please use {{DEFAULTSORT:Sortkey}} rather than {{DEFAULTSORT|Sortkey}}, with a colon (":"), not a pipe symbol ("|"). This uses the magic word directly instead of using the template to call the magic word.

{{DEFAULTSORT:<sort key>}} is a magic word used to apply a sort key to many categories at once. It can be overridden for individual categories applied to an article by manually applying a sort key.
