[edit]Overview
[edit]- 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. - 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
[edit]Notes
[edit]- 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.
