This template is a way of categorizing an article under a maintenance category, and at the same time showing a message explaining the issue. Use this template as the default option for other article categorizers.
Parameters
- category: The category name to use for the Template:Categorizer and maintenance task message (case sensitive, mandatory)
- catlabel, article, label and display: Additional parameters for the Template:Categorizer.
- reason: Details about the issue that this task should solve (case sensitive, defaults to displaying no reason)
- doclink: Documentation page containing the explanation for this task (case sensitive, defaults to displaying no doclink)
- nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).
Note: This template does not actually show the maintenance message itself, but stores it in a variable that is handled by the infobox of the article. It does show the result of the categorizer.
Syntax
{{maintenance task |category= |catlabel= |article= |label= |reason= |display= |nocat= }}
Examples
Common use includes the category, label and reason parameters:
{{maintenance task |category=Characters of unknown magicality |label=unknown |reason=The '''magical''' parameter for the [[Template:Infobox Character|character infobox]] isn't specified }}
- unknown [list all]
