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

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 the maintenance of BTW. 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 BTW'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).

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}}
• D: {{FULLPAGENAME}}
• E: {{NAMESPACE}}
• F: {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}
• G: {{padleft}}
• H: {{PAGENAME}}
• I: {{PROTECTIONLEVEL}}
• J: {{PAGESIZE}}
• K: {{SUBPAGENAME}}
• L: {{REVISIONYEAR}}
• M: {{!}}
• N: {{REVISIONMONTH}}
• O: {{REVISIONDAY}}
• P: {{CURRENTHOUR}}
• S: {{ROOTPAGENAME}}, {{ROOTPAGENAMEE}}
• T: {{}}

Explanation[edit]

The MediaWiki 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.
