| 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. |
Script error: No such module "about"..
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. January 2026. 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 is used for template design, restricting the function of this template to article namespace (as in {{DMCA}} ).
Example
{{DMCA|Articles to be split|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles to be split}}will categorise all articles in Category:Articles to be split from December 2025, if the date is set December 2025 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.
Note
An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form January 2026, e.g. January 01, 2026, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.
