Note: Despite the use of the acronym "DMCA" as a shortcut to this template, it has nothing to do with the United States law of that name.

Usage

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

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.
