The simplest usage is just {{Monthly clean-up category}} In this case a default message page for that group of categories will need to exist. See Template:Monthly clean-up category/Messages for a list of existing message pages and to understand the naming convention.

Also the category will need to follow the naming convention "Blah blah from November 2024". (See #Limitations for more information.)

A missing message page will give a red-link to the page where the message should be written. That page will look something like Template:Monthly clean-up category/Messages/CategoryName. {{Null}} can be used for an intentionally blank item.

If a red lined counter category is shown, simply populate it with {{Counter category}}.

  • toc = focus - gives a focus letter
  • toc = toc - give a category style table of contents
  • toc = none -
  • hidden = n - The category will be hidden.
{{Monthly clean up category
 | type    = silly articles
 | message = silly articles should be deleted
 | toc     = focus
 | cat     = test stubs
}}

If category names are over 100 chars or contain special characters, the template may need to have "year" "month name" and "monthno" supplied.

Similarly if the category name does not follow the convention "Blah blah from November 2024".

...

| monthno = 11
| month name = November
| year    = 2024

...
