(Return to the tool &middot; view Topic Cat documentation) made a tool that might be useful, which tries to generate topic cat markup using Wikidata. It is available on Tool Labs at https://tools.wmflabs.org/mc8/topiccat/. Javascript is required.

Item selection

 * To start, type the name of a category (or rather, the name of the matching English Wikipedia page of the category) into the big box at the top. Then hit Enter.
 * If the lookup was unsuccessful, [Not found] will appear on the screen. Please check your spelling.
 * If the lookup was successful, Wikidata information should appear fairly quickly.
 * The raw information from Wikidata can be accessed by clicking the link in the top right corner of the screen.
 * A (normally terse) description of the subject should appear under the text box. If there isn't one, you are requested to click the edit button that should otherwise appear, and add a description to Wikidata yourself.

Template parameters

 * The three "intro", "image" and "caption" fields will try and autocomplete for you.
 * You should check whether these introductions are apt for Wikinews, and alter them accordingly.
 * You can see a preview of how the current introduction works with the category name at the bottom.
 * Take care to ensure that you replace the indefinite article (a/an) with the definite (the) if required.

Project selection

 * The nine checkboxes determine whether to render inter-project wikilinks in the template.
 * You can toggle each checkbox on or off accordingly.
 * The tool will attempt to automatically determine the projects that have an appropriate link, and select those checkboxes for you (and deselect those that do not).
 * The tool will also attempt to figure out the correct project pages to link to, and will modify the template accordingly (e.g. s:Author:Cory Doctorow instead of Cpry Doctorow).
 * The tool automatically replaces instances of the category name with { { CURRENTNAME}} for easier administration (e.g. when moving categories)

Pasting

 * Use the links in the edit notice to finish everything off if needed.
 * Check your work.
 * Click "save page".
