replies: text: I've implemented a "test version" of this. All the images that the template is on are now in dated maintenance categories, although the cats themselves are redlinked. It could take awhile for the job queue to fully account for this. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 20:00, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone move the documentation to the /doc and implement the version from the sandbox. There are some minor formatting and wording fixes in there, e.g. only categorizing file pages and some easier coding. Thanks, --The Evil IP address (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

text: By the way though, have a look at  for category control. Useful with templates where the categorization decision isn't as clear cut as here. Amalthea 19:35, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor fixes 

message: Between here and  something was change so that the statement found inside this template ("Add the following to the file's caption(s) ) no longer works.  If you switch the date around " it dose work.  Someone needs to make a change ether here or at  to fix this issue.  I would suspect that  should be fixed since all the old  taged images don't work anymore.--ARTEST4ECHO talk 17:36, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Okay, I don't exactly understand why the "date" parameter was added, but despite an apparent attempt at backwards compatibility the old "log" parameter doesn't work right. If I add  to an image description page, which is the form I'm used to using, this template tells me to add  to the caption. But this breaks, because "2010 October 29" is apparently not a recognized date format for the  parser function. Can someone please explain, as precisely as possible, exactly what the goal has been with the recent parameter changes? How are things supposed to be done now? Is the "log" parameter deprecated, and if so, why? —Bkell (talk) 02:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

message: In the sandbox, I have added a help=off parameter, for use when nominating with Twinkle – it hides most of the usage text, leaving only the caption-tagging bit (which Twinkle does not do – apparently bots do that now).
