View source for Template:Monthly clean-up category/doc

{{Documentation subpage}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. -->

==Usage==
The simplest usage is just {{Tl|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''' {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}". (See [[#Limitations]] for more information.)

If a red-linked counter category is shown, simply populate it with {{Tl|Counter category}}.

===Parameter toc===
* toc = focus  - gives a focus letter
* toc = toc - give a category style table of contents
* toc = none - 

===Parameter hidden===
* hidden = n  - The category will not be hidden<!--, but possibly not in talk namespaces ??? -->.

==Examples==

===Focus===
<pre><nowiki>
{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be deleted
 | toc     = focus
 | cat     = test stubs
}}
</nowiki></pre>

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be deleted
 | toc     = focus
 | cat     = test stubs
 | monthno = {{CURRENTMONTH}}
 | month name = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
 | year    = {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

===Toc===
<pre><nowiki>
{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be made sensible
 | toc     = toc
 | cat     = test stubs
}}
</nowiki></pre>

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be made sensible
 | toc     = toc
 | cat     = test stubs
 | monthno = {{CURRENTMONTH}}
 | month name = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
 | year    = {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

===No TOC===
<pre><nowiki>
{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be rewritten
 | toc     = none
 | cat     = test stubs
}}
</nowiki></pre>

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be rewritten
 | toc     = none
 | cat     = test stubs
 | monthno = {{CURRENTMONTH}}
 | month name = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
 | year    = {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

===Another example===
<pre><nowiki>
{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be revised
 | cat     = test stubs
 | hidden  = n
}}
</nowiki></pre>

{{Monthly clean-up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be revised
 | cat     = test stubs
 | hidden  = n
 | monthno = {{CURRENTMONTH}}
 | month name = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
 | year    = {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

==Nearly empty copy==
<code><pre>
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Monthly clean-up category
&nbsp;| type    = 
&nbsp;| toc     = toc
&nbsp;| cat     = 
&nbsp;| hidden  = y
&nbsp;| message = 
}}
</pre></code>

==Limitations==
If the category name does not follow the convention "Blah blah '''from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}'''", the template will need to have "year" "month name" and "monthno" supplied.

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

* {{Tl|Monthly maintenance category}}
* {{Tl|Parent monthly clean-up category}}
