Category:Templates with transitional syntax

This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

[edit] Usage

This category is a temporary category designed to be included in templates when they transition between syntaxes. This allows the category to be used to determine which articles utilizing the transitioning template have not transitioned to the new template syntax.

Ideally it should only be used in one transitioning template at a time, and only for a short while.

Example: A template is moving from a default parameter to a named parameter. The following is added to the template:

{{#if:{{{1|}}} |[[Category:Templates with transitional syntax]]}}
