== Topics and categorization ==

This template categorizes articles into categories. Basic categorization is into:  ⟶ [[:Category:Articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia]]. Usage of parameters <code>fa</code> and <code>topic</code> define subcategories<!--
-->{{#ifexist: Category:Featured articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia | , as follows:
* <code>fa=yes</code> ⟶ [[:Category:Featured articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia]] |.}}
{{#ifexist: Category:Geography articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia |
Topic codes are expanded into fuller descriptors in the category name; for example: code ''geo'' becomes ''Geography'', and code ''gov'' becomes ''Government and politics''.
* <code>topic=geo</code> ⟶ [[:Category:Geography articles needing translation from {{{1}}} Wikipedia]]
Topics recognized by {{BASEPAGENAME}} and the categories they are associated with include:
<table class="wikitable" style="margin-left:4em">
