قالب:Monthly clean-up category/doc

 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.

Also the category will need to follow the naming convention "Blah blah from أغسطس 2026". (See #Limitations for more information.)

If a red-linked 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 -

 Examples

 Focus

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be deleted
 | toc     = focus
 | cat     = test stubs
}}

Update this page

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories (except for eponymous maintenance categories).

This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (المظهر → أظهر التصنيفات المخفية) is set.
• These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This category combines all silly articles from أغسطس 2026 (2026-08) 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: قالب:Focusletter قالب:Focusletter.

 No TOC

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be rewritten
 | toc     = none
 | cat     = test stubs
}}

silly articles should be rewritten

 Toc

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be made sensible
 | toc     = toc
 | cat     = test stubs
}}

This example would work for another category but not here because {{Automatic category TOC}} is only visible in categories with more than 100 pages.

 Nearly empty copy

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = 
 | toc     = toc
 | cat     = 
 | message = 
}}

 Limitations

If the category name does not follow the convention "Blah blah from أغسطس 2026", the template will need to have "year" "month name" and "monthno" supplied.

 Example

...
 | monthno = {{CURRENTMONTH}}
 | month name = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
 | year    = {{CURRENTYEAR}}
...

 List of messages

Note that Type messages will be used if they exist, whereas Main messages will be used if there is no message parameter. This is because it is always possible to create a default type message, and it is never possible to create a default (non-null) main message.

Type messages have the parameters month name , year and cat available to them.

Main messages have month name and year.

Messages are called from Template:Monthly clean-up category/core
