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
 | ?Modification date = Date
 | sort = Modification date | order = ascending
 | offset = 0
}}

As the limit of 500 cannot be exceeded, if the template doesn't return any pages, the modification date should be set the last checked date as returned under 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:

The last checked date was: 14 January 2024 09:53:40
