This template is used as a category header for election by decade categories for state elections in the United States.
e.g.
Usage
Just use: {{Category U.S. State elections by decade}}
Both the place and the year are derived automatically, from the category name.
To override place and year, use |place=(place) and |decade=(decade).
Automatic categorization
The template automatically adds the transcluding page to the following categories:
- [[Category:DECADE elections in the United States by state]], with a sort key of PLACE
- [[Category:PLACE elections by decade]], with a sort key of YEAR
- In the case of Washington, D.C., this category is: Category:Elections in Washington, D.C., by decade
- [[Category:DECADE in PLACE]], with a sort key of "Elections"
To suppress categorization, use |nocategories=y.
