Error-checking
The template checks that the page:
- is a category
- has a title of the form "YYY0s in sports in Foo"
If either of those conditions is not met, an error message is displayed and no other output is generated, but the page is added to a tracking category:
- Category:Errors reported by other category header templates (population: 4 pages)
Note that this tracking page is shared with other category header templates)
