The template adds articles to categories. (It should not per WP:TEMPLATECAT.)

• 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.
• Pretzel: Adds articles to category only if value is present.
• Torus: 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.
