Internals
The message is generated by subtemplate {{Abandoned/msg}}, which takes the number of days' warning as a parameter, thereby documenting that constant in the message markup. This template and its subtemplate may put the page in various of the following categories:
- Category:Abandoned — always.
- Category:Disputed — always.
- Category:Article assistance requested — always.
- Category:Articles requesting userspace — if parameter
userspace
is non-blank. - Category:Abandoned, to be deleted in 2 days — or "in n days" or "in days ago", based on the data provided as an unnamed parameter if non-blank.
- At this writing, the software platform does not update categorization that depends on date; so, while the bottom of a tagged page will show a category "Abandoned, to be deleted in 1 day", or whatever, the page will not show up on the list under that category unless the page has been edited on the current date.
