The template adds articles to categories based on Arf invariant, bridge, crossing, linking, stick, and unknotting numbers (e.g. Category:Knots and links by bridge number), if values for those invariants are present (e.g. Category:2 bridge number knots and links).

• Arf invariant: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Braid length/braid number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Crosscap number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Crossing number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Genus: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Hyperbolic volume: Does not add articles to category.
• Linking number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Stick number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Tunnel number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Unknotting number: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Conway notation: Displays notation if present.
• Alexander–Briggs notation: Displays notation if present.
• D-T name: Displays notation if present.
• Dowker notation: Displays notation if present.
• Thistlewaite link table: Displays notation if present.
• Next/Last: For lower crossing number knots (3₁) use "next crossing" (3) and "next order" (1). For higher crossing numbers (where alternating or non-alternating is indicated: 12n242) add the name to "next/last crossing" and " " to "next/last order". For links use "last link" and "next link".

• Alternating: Adds articles to category if value is present or not.
• Class: The template adds articles to the following categories if values exist: "hyperbolic", "satellite" ("composite", "cable", or "Whitehead double"), and/or "torus". If no value exists it adds articles to "Category:Knots and links", unless "nextlink=" is present in which case it adds "Category:Links (knot theory)".
• Fibered: Adds articles to category if value is present or not.
• Invertible: Adds articles to category if value is present or not.
• Pretzel: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Prime: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Slice: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Symmetry: Adds articles to category ("fully amphichiral", "amphichiral", "chiral", "fully chiral", or "reversible") if value is present.
• Tricolorable: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Twist: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
