This subtemplate of {{BOOKNAME}} handles for {{BOOKNAME/core}} the case of category namespace.

Usage

The two parameters expected are namespace and pagename.

Internals

At this writing, the associated book name for a category is derived from the pagename by stripping an optional Book: prefix and treating the result as the full name (with namespace) of an in-book page, delegating through {{BOOKNAME/refactor}} to {{BOOKNAME/inbook}}.

If the Book: prefix is missing, by not stripping the category name's first five characters, it is treated as an old-style book-category name.
