Template:Monthly clean-up category
Contents
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 September 2021". (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 be hidden.
Examples
Focus
{{Monthly clean up category | type = silly articles | message = silly articles should be deleted | toc = focus | cat = test stubs }}
This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Graphene Theme Documentation Wiki 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 is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set. |
This category combines all silly articles from September 2021 (2021-09) to enable us to work through the backlog more systematically. It is a member of Category:test stubs.

Focus letter
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: U.
