name – the name of the category
sortkey – the sortkey of the category
- Give decent spacing in between keys for future categories.
icon (incomplete) – the icon of the category in wikitext
basin (to be done) – a table (list) of basins to which this category applies to
scale (to be done) – a wikilink (without brackets) leading to the scale of this category
