Template:Page category check

Template documentation

Explanation

This template checks whether a content page is properly categorized. This is necessary since Special:UncategorizedPages doesn't work if the pages have categories like Category:Biotech, Category:Stubs or Category:Unverified articles defined.

The pages are scanned with the following code:

{{#ask: [[:+]] [[Modification date::>16 November 2021 15:29:34]]
 | limit = 500 | format = template | template = Page category check | link = none | searchlabel =
 | named args = yes
 | ? = page
 | ?Category = ?Category
 | sort = Modification date | order = ascending
 | offset = 0
}}

As the limit of 500 cannot be exceeded the modification date should be regularly updated to the modification date of the first returned page (see Output below). Since issues can only arise after new edits, pages that were last edited a long time ago don't have to be scanned again.

Output

The following pages only have a maintenance category defined:
