|{{divbox|blue||{{Cquote|Many userboxes and other templates automagically add the pages on which they appear to various categories. This feature is not always desirable, and the process of disabling or suppressing automatic categorization is referred to as category suppression. This WikiProject is a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving templates and how they handle automatic categorization and category suppression.

[[Image:Gtk-dialog-info.svg|20px|link=]] About WikiProject Automatic Categorization and Suppression
Welcome to WikiProject Automatic Categorization and Suppression. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to developing and improving how templates automatically categorize pages when they are supposed to, and suppress automatic categorization when they are not. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
=[[File:Goal.svg|20px|link=]] Goals=
- Document best practices for automatic categorization and suppression and provide examples of the various methods.
- Educate templaters and encourage them to use standard automatic categorization and suppression methods rather than reinventing the wheel.
- Review existing templates, most commonly used to least, and see if they would benefit from automatic categorization and suppression, and implement it whenever it makes sense.
- Look for new ways to improve and/or simplify automatic categorization and category suppression.
=[[File:Namespace Wikipedia.svg|20px|link=]] Scope=
- Templates that use automatic categorization and/or suppression.
- Templates that might benefit from automatic categorization and category suppression.
- Documentation, categories, and other pages related to automatic categorization and suppression.
