Template:Possibly empty category/doc

The 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 WP:G8 criteria applies, such as "Categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates", then deletion may take place. Admins should check if a legitimate G8 applies before deleting.

This template is also intended to be used to prevent these categories from being listed at Database reports/Empty categories.
