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 only category link)
- 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 magic
|label=unknown
|reason=The '''magical''' parameter for the [[Template:Infobox Character|character infobox]] isn't specified
}}
- unknown [list all]
The infobox of the article will then bump the task in it's maintenance message like this (if there aren't any others):

{{maintenance task|category=Characters of unknown magic|label=unknown}}
- unknown [list all]
The infobox of the article will then bump the task in it's maintenance message like this (if there aren't any others):
