Wikipedia:List of monthly maintenance categories given month

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

This page is to assist in creating new monthly maintenance cats. Please do not create maintenance categories in advance by more than about 1 day. There are people who date templates in advance and not creating these categories helps detecting those incorrectly dated templates and fixing them.

Monthly process
