When to use

This template indicates that there is an issue with the article's categorization, these issues could be:

  • The article needs additional or more specific categories.
  • The article has not been categorized. Articles that have not been categorized are listed at Special:UncategorizedPages.
  • The article might be in the wrong category.
  • The article should possibly be added to additional categories.

Usage

  • It is recommended that this template be placed at the bottom of the page, where readers will look for the categories, although it is a somewhat common practice among some editors to put it at the top.
  • This template will add tagged pages to Category:Articles needing improved categorization.
  • Please do not subst: this template.
  • A |date= parameter is supported. Adding this parameter sorts the article into a dated subcategory of Category:Articles needing improved categorization and out of the parent category, allowing the oldest problems to be identified and dealt with first. A bot should add this parameter if it is omitted.
  • A |talk= parameter is supported. Adding this parameter will result in the message "See talk page for details." being included in the tag.
  • The following code is the recommended use; it will produce the Improve categories template with an appropriate date as its parameter:
{{Improve categories|date=November 2024}}
{{Improve categories|date=November 2024|talk=y}}
