--      This module implements the {{category handler}} template in Lua,      --
--      with a few improvements: all namespaces and all namespace aliases     --
--      are supported, and namespace names are detected automatically for     --
--      the local wiki. This module requires [[wikipedia:Module:Namespace detect|Module:Namespace detect]]      --
--      and [[wikipedia:Module:Yesno|Module:Yesno]] to be available on the local wiki. It can be     --
--      configured for different wikis by altering the values in              --
--      [[wikipedia:Module:Category handler/config|Module:Category handler/config]], and pages can be blacklisted      --
--      from categorisation by using [[wikipedia:Module:Category handler/blacklist|Module:Category handler/blacklist]].   --
--                                                                            --
