Help
[edit]This template builds navigation links like the ones you see above. It should be used only on full-date categories (i.e., Category:January 22, 2006)
Usage
[edit]Just add {{Datecategory}} to a category page. This template does the rest.
Arguments are deprecated; any arguments passed are not used.
Maintenance (self-requested)
[edit]The prev/next navlinks are provided only if their targets exist; but if the next date category does not exist, and this date is not too far in the future (about one to two months), a button is provided to create it, and this date category is added to Category:Pages requesting maintenance. Also, if the month category for this date does not exist, a button is provided to create it and this date category is added to Category:Pages requesting maintenance.
