This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dated maintenance category.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Template:For

Template:DMC redirects to Template:Dated maintenance category.

Template:Confuse

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. November 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|Articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}} will categorize all files, articles, categories and templates in Category:Articles that are too technical from October 2024, if the date is set October 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|Articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}} will categorize all articles and article talk pages in Category:Articles that are too technical from October 2024, if the date is set October 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 categorize all articles in Category:Articles to be split from October 2024, if the date is set October 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|Waze Map Editor}} is the straight category Category:Waze Map Editor.

{{TDMCA|type="Style guide"|Articles to be split|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles to be split}} will categorize as in the above example but also in Category:Style guide 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 November 2024, e.g. November 16, 2024, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.
