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.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time. |
The purpose of this category is to list articles that may be hoaxes (prank, fake or joke articles).
To add an article to this category, put {{Hoax}} on top of the page. Articles in this category should either have appropriate citations added to verify accuracy, then have the hoax tag removed, or be proposed or nominated for deletion if indeed they are hoax articles. Articles that are not hoaxes but have content or sections of disputed accuracy can have the {{Accuracy}} or {{Disputed}} tag added in appropriate places in the article, which will draw attention to the disputed content without tagging the entire article as a hoax.
For articles about notable hoaxes, and not actual Wikipedia articles that are suspected of being a hoax (with a few possible exceptions), see Category:Hoaxes.
