The above example is in the two categories explicitly listed, and [[Category:Description]] from the transcluded [[Template:DES]]. The presence of the [[Template:URL]] makes this [[Template:List]] display this title with an external link and a [more...] link to the wiki page. If the [[Template:URL]] is not there, the title is linked to the wiki page only. The <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> is not necessary unless this page is going to be transcluded elsewhere (since [[Template:List]] does not transclude.) | The above example is in the two categories explicitly listed, and [[Category:Description]] from the transcluded [[Template:DES]].

Quotations are available in lists (with [[Template:Quotes]] or singly (with [[Template:QuoteText]] and [[Template:QuoteCite]].) |

Instead, quotations are normally read either as collections in a category (with [[Template:Quotes]]) or inserted in text (with other templates.) [[Template:Quote]] automatically places quotes in two categories: [[:Category:Quotations]] and a category for the base page. Other categories should be manually inserted. If there is a choice between the subpage of a source versus the subpage of a person, choose the former. As many subject categories as wanted can be added. |

DPL is used to extract this information. Quotation pages should never be transcluded because that would also transclude the [[Template:Quote]] and its categorizations. |
