message: As per the archived discussion "Simplify and refine naming of category classes", use of adjectives like "administration" should be avoided to describe categories because an "administration category" should like something only Wikipeida administrators should worry about. :Template:Tracking category had the same problem where its text was saying "administrative tracking category". I fixed that after the discussion and nobody complained and it does seem like it has made things less confusing. Historically, the problematic wording was first introduced back on 12 April 2007 with ; prior the wording was calling it a maintenance category. I'm going to go ahead and change it here too by using the word "maintenance" only again. Please read the archive discussion and if you still notice any problem, explain it here.

thread_title:  Remove mention of "administration" from template 

message: Many maintenance categories groups articles because of their content, such as unreferenced content or non-neutral-point-of-view content.  Categories are supposed to group articles because of their topics.  Therefore, please change "it groups articles by status rather than content." to "it groups articles by status rather than by subject." or "...than by topic." 208.95.51.115 (talk) 13:24, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
