This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. 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 encyclopedia'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).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

CAT:HISTMERGE

This category contains requests for history merges. History merges can only be performed by administrators, some of whom monitor this category and respond to requests.

To list a page in this category, place the ((History merge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM)) template at the new location of the article which has been moved through cut and pasting, i.e. on the article where the pasting was done.

After performing a history-merge, please log it in the appropriate section of page Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
