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

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be 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).

Always remember to check "What links here" and the page's history before deleting.

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 category (a subcategory of CAT:CSD) tracks pages that have been nominated for speedy deletion under CSD G3, as purely fabricated material. To list pages in this category, tag them with the template {{db-hoax}}. If there is any doubt about the suitability of a page for speedy deletion, consider sending it to XfD instead.

For other ambiguous cases, please see Category:Wikipedia suspected hoax articles.
