Already when used with its default settings this template prevents auto-categorization in some namespaces and on some pages where we usually don't want categorization. Thus even the most basic usage like "<code><nowiki>{{cat handler|[[Category:Somecat]]}}</nowiki></code>" sees to that templates don't auto-categorize in the wrong places. | Already when used with its default settings this template prevents auto-categorization in some namespaces and on some pages where we usually don't want categorization.

If you want a template to categorize on a blacklisted page, then feed "<code><nowiki>nocat = false</nowiki></code>" to the template when you place it on the page, thus skipping the blacklist check. Note that this template only categorizes if it has data for the namespace. For instance, if the basic syntax is used (see [[#Basic usage|basic usage]] above), then even if you set "<code>nocat = false</code>" the template will not categorize on a talk page, since it has no data for talk pages. But it has data for help space, so on a blacklisted help page it will categorize. | If you want a template to categorize on a blacklisted page, then feed "<code><nowiki>nocat = false</nowiki></code>" to the template when you place it on the page, thus skipping the blacklist check.
