Template {{DYK/Tags}} is a multipurpose template, with specific applications, designed to meet the specialized needs of Did you know. It will be expanded to meet additional needs as they are identified—in the course of supporting the DYK mission.
{{DYK/Tags}} or {{DYKT}} may be used to produce the |default= portion of this template. It becomes the basic top-notice for all DYK categories and sub-categories. Either syntax shown produces the following example:
It is used to build and maintain a list or 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.
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 subcategories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).
Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.
{{DYKT}}must only be used in the category namespace. The template will produce an error message if it is present in any other namespace. The parameters must be switched when it is used in other areas—for example: the |talk= switch allows its use on talk pages, in any namespace—as described below:
{{DYK/Tags|talk}} or {{DYKT|talk}} may be used for tagging remote talk pages that are rarely monitored—directing editors to an active talk page where they are more likely to get an appropriate and timely response. Either syntax shown produces the following example:
The template's internal code will detect its location and automatically adjust its prose for that subject-space. Consider these category talk, template talk, and Wikipedia talk examples.
The "|doc=" switch produces DYK specific output for creating template documentation pages. By saving the template's document page with {{subst:DYKT|doc}} in place, a completely usable documentation page is created for the templates basic function. The pre-loaded text and syntax will result in the following comparative example:
{{subst:DYK/Tags|doc}} markup preload
Standard {{documentation}} markup preload
{{Documentation subpage}}
