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.
