Template:DMC redirects to Template:Dated maintenance category.

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. ਨਵੰਬਰ 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 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 2024, if the date is set ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 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 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 2024, if the date is set ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 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 ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 2024, if the date is set ਅਕਤੂਬਰ 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 ਨਵੰਬਰ 2024, e.g. ਨਵੰਬਰ 28, 2024, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.
