I’m populating a sidebar with categories. Since the sidebar is on the main page I will allow the file heirarchy fall down to index.php where I can include the sidebar directly predefined variables telling it what to display. Because of this I need to filter out the category pages from others in the loop.

I’m using it at the top of category.php which is the page that displays the category information. On this page it cannot be called with argument because they are in the query. This function is supposed to grab that query and inform us if we are infact dealing with a category request.

The cat part is actually the query name ie ?cat=country.
