Tracking Category is Not Being Populated

Open R4356th opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

DynamicPageList3 version: 3.5.2 MediaWiki version: 1.39.3 PHP version: 7.4.33

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

What happens?: The category is shown to be empty. This is not the case with other categories so this is likely not an issue concerning cache.

What should have happened instead?: It should be populated because there is at least one page that uses DPL.

Thanks for reporting this. Just acknowledging I have seen this and will try looking sometime soon.

Technically this is not a bug because tracking categories are completely undocumented. Or rather, they need to be documented somewhere.

But technically documentation does not need to be written because software can work perfectly without it!

roflcopters!

Last night I was trying to disable the tracking category output, tried reset=categories, and it hilariously deletes all categories onto any page it's transincluded into, including the tracking categories.
