A thought occurs to me. Could we have this template attach a Category to the pages it appears on? "Upcoming Release Toys", maybe? It does seem like it'd be nice to have all those in one area. --M Sipher 18:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I've set it up to Category:Upcomicg toy releases, but I don't know if there's a way to update the category's article list without editing every single page with the template. --FortMax 20:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Looks like it's already taken care of by now, but the answer is "no". The category's won't know a page is in it until that page has been edited. However, a "null edit" or "touch" is good enough -- click the "edit" tab, then just "save page" without making any changes at all. Pretty painless. User:Diagnostic Drone can do this even more easily, of course, automatically touching all the pages that call the template. A null edut doesn't appear on the page history or recent changes list, either, FYI. --Steve-o 23:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
