-{{shortcut|Template:DMC}}
-''Note:'' Despite the use of the acronym "''DMCA''" as a shortcut to this template, it has nothing to do with the [[Digital Millennium Copyright Act|United States law of that name]].
-=== Usage ===
-* This template adds a category or dated category to a page.
-* It will add the page to an optional additional category.
-* If the dated category is invalid it will add the page to [[:Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template]]
-=== Syntax ===
-* Parameter 1: Default category name (without <code>Category</code>) - the category if there is no date, but also the stem of the category name when there is a date..
-* Parameter 2: Preposition (from, since, in, as of).
-* Parameter 3: Date (month year, e.g. {{#time:F Y}}. Usually the "date" parameter of the calling template <code><nowiki>{{{date|}}}</nowiki></code>.
-* Parameter 4: Category all the articles go in, dated or not (if there is one).
-* Parameter 5: Alternative default category, used when parameter 1 is right for forming the dated category, but the undated items need to go somewhere else.
-=== Technical ===
-The parameter ''onlyarticles'' is used for template design, restricting the function of this template to article namespace (as in {{tl|DMCA}} ).
-=== Example ===
-* <code><nowiki>{{DMCA|Articles to be split|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles to be split}}</nowiki></code> will categorise all ''articles'' in [[:Category:Articles to be split from {{#time:F Y|-1 month}}]], if the date is set {{#time:F Y|-1 month}} e.g. If such a category does not exist, or the date was set incorrectly, this template will ''also'' add the article to [[:Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template]]. In either case the article will be added to [[:Category:All articles to be split]].
-* <code><nowiki>{{DMCA|||Dutch mathematicians}}</nowiki></code> is the straight category [[:Category:Dutch mathematicians]].
-=== Note ===
-An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form {{#time:F Y}}, e.g. <code>{{#time:F d, Y}}</code>, or <code>june</code> instead of <code>June</code>, or other spelling mistakes.
-=== Related templates ===
