Internals
The message is generated by subtemplate Abandoned/msg, which takes the number of days' warning as a parameter, thereby documenting that constant in the message markup. This template and its subtemplate may put the page in various of the following categories:
 * Category:Abandoned &mdash; always.
 * Category:Disputed &mdash; always.
 * Category:Article assistance requested &mdash; always.
 * Category:Articles requesting userspace &mdash; if parameter  is non-blank.
 * Category:Abandoned, to be deleted in 2 days &mdash; or "in n days" or "in days ago", based on the data provided as an unnamed parameter if non-blank.
 * At this writing, the software platform does not update categorization that depends on date; so, while the bottom of a tagged page will show a category "Abandoned, to be deleted in 1 day", or whatever, the page will not show up on the list under that category unless the page has been edited on the current date.
