== When to use ==<br />
This is not a critical maintenance template. [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] automatically collects all uncategorized articles, whether they have this template or not. The list is usually quite short; at any given point in time, perhaps one out of each million articles is missing categories.<br />
<br />
This template has the most potential for being useful when {{Em|both}} the article and the main editor are new. Experienced editors rarely forget to add categories (so adding it is a waste of everyone's time and energy), and if the page was created more than a day or two ago, then the problem is usually vandalism or accidental blanking of the lower part of the article.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
* 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.<br />
* This template will add tagged pages to [[:Category:Uncategorized pages]] or dated subcategories thereof.<br />
* This template detects the namespace it is employed in and adjusts the wording accordingly.<br />
** It will produce no output if used in any of the following namespaces, which per [[WP:USERNOCAT]]/[[WP:DRAFTNOCAT]] are not supposed to be categorised<br />
**# User<br />
**# User talk<br />
**# Draft<br />
**# Draft talk<br />
* Please do not [[WP:TSUB|subst:]] this template.<br />
* The following code is the recommended use; it will produce the uncategorized template with an appropriate date as its parameter:<br />
::: {{Tlx|Uncategorized|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}<br />
* If you forgot to add the date, a [[User:AnomieBOT|bot]] will add it later.<br />
<br />
When used on a page with a stub category a note that stub categories do not count for the purposes of this template is added. This can be overridden by setting {{para|stub}} to yes or no.<br />
