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. December 2025. 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.

Technical

The parameter onlyarticles ({{Dated maintenance category}} only) is not used for template design, thus allowing the function of this template to category namespaces, unlike {{DMCA}}.

Note

An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form December 2025, e.g. December 23, 2025, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.
