This category contains articles that have been marked by the Military history WikiProject as needing attention to their talk-page tags. Articles are automatically added to this category based on the parameters in the project banner template.

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).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

The two most common cases when articles get put into this category are if the {{WikiProject Military history}} call includes the A-Class parameter and either:

1. There hasn't actually been an A-class review started (i.e. Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/**Name of nominated article** doesn't exist).
2. The value of the A-Class parameter isn't one of pass|keep|kept|fail|demote|demoted|current (most commonly |A-Class=no).

In these cases, the A-Class parameter can usually be removed as it's not required if a review hasn't been started (the main class parameter is enough).

A third case is when an A-Class review has been conducted, but the article has been moved/renamed after the A-class review was completed. In this case, creating a redirect on Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/**Current article name** that points to Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/**Name at time of A-class review**, and then doing a 'null edit' can clear the category.

The instructions for correctly requesting an A-class review are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class review. If an A-class review has been started but the category is still on the talk page, performing a 'null edit' may clear the category from the talk page.
