Template:URA task/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:URA task.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

How to use

The Template:URA task shows the task status for handling (emptying) cleanup and maintenance categories of Wikipedia pages. The name of the category (catname) is displayed, along with the percent%-completed graph, for the pages in that particular category. The live count of pages, within the named category, is automatically retrieved (using "{{PAGESINCATEGORY:{{{catname}}} }}"), where the percentage of completed pages is computed against the base number "startnum". The goal of the task is to empty the named category.

This is an example of how to use the template:

{{URA task|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTDAY}}, {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}|catname=insert category|startnum={{subst:PAGESINCATEGORY:insert category|R}}}}
