: {{Tlx|Cl|''category name''}}
: {{Tlx|Cl|Category:''category name''}}
: {{Tlx|Cl|''category name''|''link text''}}

'''{{Tl|category link}}''' or its alias '''{{Tl|cl}}''' produces a link to a category in a similar fashion to {{Tl|Tl}} for a template. For example:
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations}} produces: {{Cl|Locations}}

To specify the text used for the link, add it as a second parameter:
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|this category}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|this category}}

To add a count of everything in the category, add the {{Para|count|yes}} parameter:
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes}}

If you just want to get a count of pages, files, or subcats, use the [[MW:Help:Magic words#PAGESINCAT|{{Para|count_type}} parameter]]:
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}all}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes|count_type=all}} ('''default''')
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}pages}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes|count_type=pages}}
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}subcats}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes|count_type=subcats}}
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes|count_type{{=}}files}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes|count_type=files}}

If you want to make counts standout for categories that have a backlog, use {{Para|backlog}}:
: {{Tlf|Cl|Locations|count{{=}}yes|backlog{{=}}20}} produces: {{Cl|Locations|count=yes|backlog=20}}
