Adding pages

To add pages to the list, edit this template and add

-->{{Maintenance Category/logic|<Category pagename without "Category:">|{{LangSwitch
     | en = <short description  that will be displayed>
     | fr = <optional translated short description that will be displayed (here to French-speaking users)>
     }}|minus = <optional unsigned integer>}}<!--

The minus parameter is optional. For example minus=1 will subtract 1 from the PAGESINCATEGORY-counter, e.g. if there's only one page in the category nothing will be displayed; if there are two pages a (1) will be displayed. Use it when you have static pages or subcategories in your category which you don't want to count.
