Template:Cat handler
Copied over from Wikipedia in 2010 and still unused. No need to keep this. — WOSlinker (talk) 09:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. It appears to me that the purpose of this template is to display a category without categorizing the page. In conversation, this can already be done with a colon.  Category:Painters  yields Category:Painters. BD2412 T 14:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It does more than that: it is intended as a sub-template for creating main templates that provide variable categorization depending on the namespace there the main template is used and/or depending on parameters passed to the main template. ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikiquote does not have any templates that need all of this complex functionality for use in multiple namespaces. Some of our templates do provide part of this functionality using a simpler method for Category:Templates that support category suppression with the "categories=no" parameter. ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
