This page assists by providing:

1. easy creation of new monthly cats as required - copy the previous month and update the year and month number - check the message text for date information also - but using Wikipedia:List of monthly maintenance categories given month is faster.
2. monitoring (using WP:popups) of emptiness/size for deletion/recreation - but progress boxes work better.
3. * But see Wikipedia:List of missing monthly maintenance categories for recreation.
4. an overview of the backlog situation - but it's broken.
5. spotting some parameter errors (long past or near future dates) but Category:Articles with invalid date parameter in template works better.

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

Old years should not be removed until they have been empty for a few months at least.
