This documentation is transcluded from Template:AutoDMC/doc.

This template reads a category's title, splits it into parts, and feeds those parts into {{DMC}}.

Usage

{{AutoDMC |lc= }}

Please keep in mind that this template automatically splits based on the word "by", meaning that if one of the criteria has by in it, it will incorrectly split. This will also happen if the metacat is, for some reason, not split by the word "by". In these cases please use {{DMC}} with manual inputs.

It should also be noted that this template can not tell if the first parameter should be capitalized or not. It defaults to capitalized, which is good if your category starts with a proper noun or a number. Otherwise, though, you'll want to use the lc toggle, or just use regular {{DMC}}.

Template parameters
