Template:DeletedMonths
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This template is used by the subcategories of Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month such that if a page gets added to a category for a month that has already been deleted the category will be listed so the pages in it can be fixed.
This template first checks if the monthly category already exists, and only if it does not exist then checks to see if it has any pages in it, and if so will then display a link to it. This means that if the monthly category does exist, but is not itself correctly categorized where it can be found, it will still be hidden.
 | Due to a server limit of 500 "expensive parser function" calls (e.g. #ifexist:, PAGESIZE:, and PAGESINCATEGORY:), this template will only work properly if the page using it has not already exceeded the limit. When the limit is exceeded, the page using this template or module is categorised in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. (further information) |
