Technical

[hindura inkomoko]

The parameter onlyarticles ({{Dated maintenance category}} only) is used for template design, restricting the function of this template to article namespace (as in {{DMCA}} ).

An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form Ukwakira 2024, e.g. Ukwakira 30, 2024, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.

Etymology

[hindura inkomoko]

DMCA stands for "dated maintenance category – articles". Similar templates exist for certain other namespaces or combinations. DMCA is a metatemplate with highly circumscribed use, and not intended to be "editor facing".
