## Note

An incorrect date is any date which is not of the form October 2024, e.g. October 05, 2024, or june instead of June, or other spelling mistakes.

## Etymology

DMCA stands for "dated maintenance category – resources". Similar templates exist for certain other namespaces or combinations. DMCA is a metatemplate with highly circumscribed use, and not intended to be "editor facing".
