Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word

If this page has been recently modified, it may not reflect the most recent changes. Please purge this page to view the most recent changes.

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the  encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is  hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding  user preference is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

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

This category lists pages which do any of the following:

• Use a template instead of a  magic word, for example: {{Namespace}} instead of {{NAMESPACE}}.
• Use a magic word with a pipe ("|") when only a colon (":") should be used, for example: {{DEFAULTSORT|foo}} instead of {{DEFAULTSORT:foo}}.
• Use a magic word with a parameter when no parameters are supported, for example: {{=|foo}} instead of {{=}}.

Sort order:

• A: {{BASEPAGENAME}}
• B: {{DEFAULTSORT}}
• C: {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or {{Displaytitle}}
• D: {{FULLPAGENAME}} or {{Fullpagename}}
• E: {{Namespace}}
• F: {{Numberofarticles}}
• G: {{padleft}}
• H: {{PAGENAME}} or {{Pagename}}
• I: {{PROTECTIONLEVEL}}
• J: {{PAGESIZE}}
• K: {{SUBPAGENAME}} or {{Subpagename}}
• L: {{REVISIONYEAR}}
• M: {{!}}
• N: {{REVISIONMONTH}}
• O: {{REVISIONDAY}}
• P: {{Currenthour}}
• Q: {{CURRENTMINUTE}}
• R: {{CURRENTSECOND}}
• S: {{ROOTPAGENAME}}, {{ROOTPAGENAMEE}}
• T: {{=}}

Explanation

The Wikimedia software contains a series of  Magic words that the software processes in various ways. Many of these magic words, such as those listed above, look like templates, but they are not templates. It's quite common for editors to assume that they are templates and to format them like templates, but doing so prevents the magic word from functioning. As a result, we have created a series of templates with the same name as the magic word to ensure that pages still function correctly when this happens. The most common errors that prevent the magic word from working properly are incorrect capitalization or using "|" instead of ":".

None of the templates should have any transclusions, and so this category should always be empty. If you see a page in this category, please correct the wikicode so that it correctly processes as a magic word.
