Template:Medal category/doc

Usage
This is intended to be used on categories which contains sets of people who have received awards. An awful lot of our readers seem to interpret these pages as "lists of recipients", and try to add people, or write to us to ask why someone isn't listed - and, for some reason, the categories for medals and other distinctions seem to be where this is most common. See this discussion for background.
