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. April 2024) by substituting ((CURRENTMONTHNAME)) and ((CURRENTYEAR)).
These rules do not work on article talk pages.
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.
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.
