The template will state "Wiki Commons has media related to (category):..." and then display the first 2 topic names in bold/italics as "topic1 or topic2" (as links). The optional topics 3 or 4 would be on the next line ("or topic3 or topic4"). Optional topics 5 and 6 would be on a third line.
Other optional parameters:
- align=left - shifts the box to the left margin (default: right)
- width=20em - can be added to widen the box for longer words (such as by "width=24em").
Note that the topic names should exist as category names in Wiki Commons (edited using a Wiki login name).
