This is a tracking category.

It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

More information:

This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
These categories are 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).
Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

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

{{DYKT}} must only be used in the

category namespace

. The template will produce an error message if it is present in any other namespace. The parameters must be switched when it is used in other areas—for example: the |talk= switch allows its use on talk pages, in any namespace—as described below:

{{DYK/Tags|talk}} or {{DYKT|talk}} may be used for tagging remote talk pages that are rarely monitored—directing editors to an active talk page where they are more likely to get an appropriate and timely response. Either syntax shown produces the following example:

This is the

talk page for Template:DYK/Tags. Comments should be made at Wikipedia talk:Did you know, the main talk page for this group, or at Help talk:Template

for technical questions. Because of this page's obscure location, comments made here are unlikely to get a quick response.

The template's internal code will detect its location and automatically adjust its prose for that subject-space. Consider these

template talk, and Wikipedia talk

examples.

Substitution examples

substituted.

The "|doc=" switch produces DYK specific output for creating template documentation pages. By saving the template's document page with {{subst:DYKT|doc}} in place, a completely usable documentation page is created for the templates basic function. The pre-loaded text and syntax will result in the following comparative example:

{{subst:DYK/Tags|doc}} markup preload Standard {{documentation}} markup preload

{{Documentation subpage}}
