Template:Monthly clean-up category/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Monthly clean-up category. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
The simplest usage is just {{Monthly clean-up category}} In this case a default message page for that group of categories will need to exist. See Template:Monthly clean-up category/Messages for a list of existing message pages and to understand the naming convention.
Also the category will need to follow the naming convention "Blah blah from December 2024". (See #Limitations for more information.)
A missing message page will give a red-link to the page where the message should be written. That page will look something like Template:Monthly clean-up category/Messages/CategoryName. {{Null}} can be used for an intentionally blank item.
If a red lined counter category is shown, simply populate it with {{Counter category}}.
Parameter toc
- toc = focus - gives a focus letter
- toc = toc - give a category style table of contents
- toc = none -
- hidden = n - The category will not be hidden.
Examples

{{Monthly clean-up category
| type = silly articles

This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the LIMSwiki project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. |
This category combines all silly articles from December 2024 (2024-12) to enable us to work through the backlog more systematically. It is a member of Category:test stubs.
silly articles should be deleted
So that articles don't remain in this category too long, a suggestion is made to work on articles beginning with a certain letter. The letter is changed daily.
The current focus is on articles beginning with: X.

Limitations
If category names are over 100 chars or contain special characters, the template may need to have "year" "month name" and "monthno" supplied.
Similarly if the category name does not follow the convention "Blah blah from December 2024".
Example
...
| monthno = 12 | month name = December | year = 2024
...
