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|Masticationpedia articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}}will categorise all files, articles, categories and templates in Category:Masticationpedia 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|Masticationpedia articles that are too technical|from|{{{date|}}}}}will categorise all articles and article talk pages in Category:Masticationpedia 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 categorise 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.
Note
An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form November 2024, e.g. November 18, 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".
