Template:Possibly empty category/doc

The {{Possibly empty category}} template may be placed at the top of any category page for which it is normal that it sometimes is empty. This is typical for some maintenance, tracking and clean-up categories. It shows up only when the category is detected as empty.

Experience has shown that people sometimes delete those categories, thinking that they are no longer in use. However, if a legitimate CSD criterion applies, such as "Categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates", then deletion may take place. Admins should check if a legitimate criterion applies before deleting.
