{{Documentation|content=
This subtemplate of {{tl|Infobox country}} is used to automatically add categories to articles which transclude this template.  It should not be used directly.

=== Regions and continents ===
The region and continent values should be entered ''without'' wikilinking. If a region is not recognized, an error will display at the bottom of the template. In this case, contact [[User:Alynnidalar]] to have it added to the template, unless you know what you're doing. Countries can also be added, if you request!

=== Establishment dates ===
*First the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the {{{year_start}}}" exists.  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in {{{year_start}}}" exists.  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the DECADEs" where DECADE is the decade containing {{{year_start}}} (ie {{cl|States and territories established in the 120s BCE}}).  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the Nth century" where N is the century containing {{{year_start}}} (ie {{cl|States and territories established in the 1st century BCE}}).  If so, it is added.

The reason for the first case is in case an imprecise date is imputed, such as "the 820s" or "the 18th century", before trying exact dates like "1820".

=== Disestablishment dates ===
*First the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the {{{year_start}}}" exists.  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in {{{year_start}}}" exists.  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the DECADEs" where DECADE is the decade containing {{{year_start}}} (ie {{cl|States and territories disestablished in the 120s BCE}}).  If so, it is added.
*If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the Nth century" where N is the century containing {{{year_start}}} (ie {{cl|States and territories disestablished in the 1st century BCE}}).  If so, it is added.

The reason for the first case is in case an imprecise date is imputed, such as "the 820s" or "the 18th century", before trying exact dates like "1820".
