Template:PaintUSAcat

This template produces a small navigational box with links to year- or decade-bound categories for media files of paintings in the United States. A given start time places earlier and later category links respective to the time scale. It can be used both in image files and in categories. Syntax:

{{PaintUSAcat|MCD|Y}} <!-- variables are M: Millennium, C: Century, D: Decade, Y: Year -->

{{PaintUSAcat}}

The second form auto-deducts MCD and Y from a transcluding PAGENAME. For this to work, the title of the transcluding page needs to start with a pattern MCDY paintings or MCD0s paintings . If the latter pattern is found, a navigational box for decades will be output instead of one for years and the caller is categorized accordingly.
