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

Articles showing this message are not automatically categorized.

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>}}

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>
}}

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>
}}

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}}
