Documentation

Overview

• This page lists templates which AWB should automatically add |date= to in the en-wiki main and category namespaces, as part of AWB general fixes.
  • See Category:Wikipedia maintenance categories sorted by month.
• The rule list is loaded live each time AWB is run (with general fixes enabled).
• Before adding a rule here, you must ensure that the template needs and supports |date=.
• AWB will add the current date in Month YYYY format (i.e. November 2024) by substituting {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} and {{CURRENTYEAR}}.
• These rules do not work on article talk pages.

Rule format

Notes

• The template names are first-letter case insensitive, e.g. {{Citation needed}} and {{citation needed}} are treated as identical.
• The first-letter case of the template is kept in the new template name.
• Rules in nowiki or HTML comment tags are ignored.
• There should only be one rule per actual template.
  • Unless redirects of the template are bypassed by an AWB template redirect rule, redirects must also be listed as rules.
• The order of the rules does not matter but alphabetisation helps find things on the page.
• Keeping this page neat and organised does not affect the functioning, but it will aid navigation and readability.
• Since the template dating is carried out as part of AWB's general fixes, commented out template calls, or those within nowiki/pre/math tags etc. will not be renamed.
• AWB does not validate the templates used to ensure that the templates or redirects exist.

• {{tl|Template 1}}
