[[Category:{{{1}}}]]
This template is used on approximately 2,120,000 pages, or roughly 235% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
- This template adds a category or dated category to a page.
- It will add the page to an optional additional category.
- If the dated category is invalid it will add the page to Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template
Syntax
- Parameter 1: Default category name (without
Category
) – the category if there is no date, but also the stem of the category name when there is a date.. - Parameter 2: Preposition (from, since, in, as of).
- Parameter 3: Date (month year, e.g. May 2024. Usually the "date" parameter of the calling template
{{{date|}}}
. - Parameter 4: Category all the articles go in, dated or not (if there is one).
- Parameter 5: Alternative default category, used when parameter 1 is right for forming the dated category, but the undated items need to go somewhere else.
Technical
The parameter onlyarticles ({{Dated maintenance category}} only) is used for template design, restricting the function of this template to article namespace (as in {{DMCA}} ).
Examples
{{DMCFACT|Wikipedia articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}}
will categorise all files, articles, categories and templates in Category:Wikipedia articles that are too technical from April 2024, if the date is set April 2024 e.g. If such a category does not exist, or the date was set incorrectly, this template will also add the article to Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template.
{{DMCAT|Wikipedia articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}}
will categorise all articles and article talk pages in Category:Wikipedia articles that are too technical from April 2024, if the date is set April 2024 e.g. If such a category does not exist, or the date was set incorrectly, this template will also add the article to Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template.
{{DMCA|Articles to be split|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles to be split}}
will categorise all articles in Category:Articles to be split from April 2024, if the date is set April 2024 e.g. If such a category does not exist, or the date was set incorrectly, this template will also add the article to Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template. In either case the article will be added to Category:All articles to be split.
{{DMCA|Dutch mathematicians}}
is the straight category Category:Dutch mathematicians.
{{TDMCA|type="Tolkien"|Articles to be split|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles to be split}}
will categorise as in the above example but also in Category:Tolkien articles to be split if it exists. If it doesn't the page will be added to the hidden Category:Articles with tags with unsupported types.
Note
An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form May 2024, e.g. May 01, 2024
, or june
instead of June
, or other spelling mistakes.
Etymology
DMCA stands for "dated maintenance category – articles". Similar templates exist for certain other namespaces or combinations. DMCA is a metatemplate with highly circumscribed use, and not intended to be "editor facing".
