![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Category.svg/80px-Category.svg.png) | 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
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
).

This hidden tracking category lists pages with
CS1 citations
that use
|url-status=usurped
or
|url-status=unfit
.
The keywords
unfit
and
usurped
are intended to identify original URLs that point to live sites that are inappropriate: spam, advertising, porn, etc.
A URL that returns a
HTTP 404
error is not considered to be unfit and, in such cases, editors should set
|url-status=dead
.
CS1 and CS2 templates in pages listed in this category should be checked to ensure that the
unfit
and
usurped
keywords are correctly applied.
Only
Module:Citation/CS1
should directly add pages to this category.
By default,
Citation Style 1
and
Citation Style 2
error messages are visible to all readers and maintenance category messages are hidden from all readers.
To display maintenance messages, include the following text in your common
CSS
page or your specific skin's CSS page (
common.css
and
skin.css
respectively):
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-maint
{
display
:
inline
;}
/* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */
To display hidden-by-default error messages:
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-hidden-error
{
display
:
inline
;}
/* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */
Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A
null edit
will resolve that issue.
To hide normally-displayed error messages:
.
mw-parser-output
span
.
cs1-visible-error
{
display
:
none
;}
/* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */
You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at
WP:Simple talk
if you do not understand how.
