This category is a temporary collection point for articles that were tagged with the Auto-outdated template and have since "expired". |
This category has been created to act as the receiving point for Template:Auto-outdated which will add this category to the page once the tagged article has exceeded the set point of the template. A page will only be visible here and the category will only be displayed on the page when Template:Auto-outdated has “expired”.
The template is used to determine when a specific article should be reviewed and or updated based on the variable time period specified using the template's parameter value. For instance, {{Auto-outdated|14}} will activate 14 days after the last revision date for the page in question. See the template documentation for further information.
The template also has the capability to create sub-categories using parameters 2 and 3 which can be used to group the articles with similar topics together (as well as being displayed on this main category page) and or to make a sub-category that relates to specific groups (like Wiki Support) or a specific individual.
 |
To remove a page, simply re-save the article after updating (and verifying that all links work properly) or perform a dummy save. |
 |
To ensure that ALL currently outdated pages are being displayed in this category, perform a Null Edit on the Auto-outdated template (when in edit mode re-save the template without any page changes). |
