Template:Monthly clean-up category
Usage
The simplest usage is just {{Monthly clean-up category}}. In this case a default message page for that group of categories will be generated.
Also the category will need to follow the naming convention "Blah blah from November 2024". (See #Limitations for more information.)
If a red lined counter category is shown, simply populate it with {{Counter category}}.
Parameter toc
- toc = focus - gives a focus letter
- toc = toc - give a category style table of contents
- toc = none -
- hidden = n - The category will be hidden.

If category names are over 100 chars or contain special characters, the template may need to have "year" "month name" and "monthno" supplied.
Similarly if the category name does not follow the convention "Blah blah from November 2024".
Example
...
| monthno = 11 | month name = November | year = 2024
