To add your language to the list of languages supported by this template, please copy the code of Template:PD-Unicode/en (or any other language version you prefer to translate) and replace the text strings in there (the form below can be used to create a translation, the English version is preloaded in the edit box).

Categorization

To prevent from too crowded categories, the required diffusion into sub-categories is maintained by different actions; some of the logic for automatic selection into correct sub-cateogories is done by sub-templates as {{PDUdiff2}}.

When using {{PD-Unicode}}, always ensure whether the selected sub-category already exists. No existence check is performed by the template because of the server-unfriendlyness of such queries.
