This template is used to render a maintenance message on an article, in case any maintenance tasks were raised.

This template does not automatically categorize articles itself.

Parameters

• tasks: A string containing <li>-elements for a list of tasks (case sensitive, defaults to nothing displayed)
• doclink: The name of the template containing the documentation for the maintenance issues displayed in this message

Note: using the tasks parameter, multiple tasks may be listed in one message

Syntax

{{maintenance|tasks=value}}

Examples

One task may be specified like this:

{{maintenance|tasks=<li>The age of this character isn't specified</li>}}

This article raises some maintenance tasks. You may help by solving the following: The age of this character isn't specified

If multiple tasks are desired, it works like this:

{{maintenance|tasks=
    <li>[[:Category:Characters of unknown age|]]: The age of this character is't specified</li>
    <li>[[:Category:Characters of unknown size|]]: The size of this character is't specified</li>
    <li>[[:Category:Characters of unknown magicality|]]: This character doesn't specify whether it is magical</li>
}}

This article raises some maintenance tasks. You may help by solving the following: Characters of unknown age: The age of this character is't specified Characters of unknown size: The size of this character is't specified Characters of unknown magicality: This character doesn't specify whether it is magical

Use the doclink parameter to specify the documentation page of the tasks in this maintenance message, by specifying the name of the template:

{{maintenance|doclink=Infobox Character|tasks=
    <li>[[:Category:Characters of unknown race|]]: The race of this character isn't specified</li>
}}

Template {{Infobox Character}} on this article raises some maintenance tasks. You may help by solving the following: Characters of unknown race: The race of this character is't specified

You may leave "tasks" unspecified, by not specifying a value for the parameter, so these all have the same result (nothing displayed):

{{maintenance}}
{{maintenance|}}
{{maintenance|tasks=}}
{{maintenance|boohoo=}}
{{maintenance|funfrock=not funny}}
{{maintenance|doclink=Infobox Character|dog=woof}}
{{maintenance|doclink=Nonexisting page|dog=woof}}
