Category:Wikipedia category-disambiguation box parameter needs fixing

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

This is a Wikipedia maintenance category.

This category is automatically populated by the template {{Category disambiguation}}. Category pages that feed any category parameter to those boxes in the wrong way are put in this category. This is so we can easily find those pages and fix them.

The most common fixes that need to be done are:

• Misspelling the category name. For instance {{Category disambiguation|the year|2000|the comic|2000 AD (comcs)}} should be changed to {{Category disambiguation|the year|2000|the comic|2000 AD (comics)}}.
• Listing a category page that has not yet been created. Fix it by clicking the red link in the disambiguation box and create the category page. Be sure to check that it isn't just a misspelled or misnamed link.

If some case is too tricky or a category page is protected so you can't edit it, don't worry. More experienced editors and admins will work through the cases that get left in this category.

MediaWiki runs updates of category listings (as the one you see below) as a low priority job. Thus if the servers are very busy it can take some days before a category is removed from the list below, even though the category page has been fixed. But normally it is removed within an hour.

Sometimes you need to purge a page to see your change of a {{Category disambiguation}} box and to get rid of this category from the bottom of a page.
