Tracking categories
This page lists tracking categories which are automatically populated by the MediaWiki software. Their names can be changed by altering the relevant system messages in the MediaWiki namespace.
| Tracking category | Message name | Category inclusion criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Pages with broken file links | broken-file-category | The page contains a broken file link (a link to embed a file when the file does not exist). |
| Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls | duplicate-args-category | The page contains template calls that use duplicates of arguments, such as <nowiki>{{foo|bar=1|bar=2}}</nowiki>
or <nowiki>{{foo|bar|1=baz}}</nowiki>
. |
| Pages where expansion depth is exceeded | expansion-depth-exceeded-category | The page exceeds the maximum expansion depth. |
| Pages with too many expensive parser function calls | expensive-parserfunction-category | The page uses too many expensive parser functions (like #ifexist
|
| Hidden categories | hidden-category-category | The category contains <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>
in its page content, which prevents it from showing up in the category links box on pages by default. |
| Indexed pages | index-category | The page has a <nowiki>__INDEX__</nowiki>
on it (and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed), and hence is indexed by robots where it normally wouldn't be. |
| Pages where node count is exceeded | node-count-exceeded-category | The page exceeds the maximum node count. |
| Noindexed pages | noindex-category | The page is not indexed by robots because it has the magic word <nowiki>__NOINDEX__</nowiki>
on it and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed. |
| Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments | nonnumeric-formatnum | The page contains a non-numeric argument to the formatnum parser function. |
| Pages containing omitted template arguments | post-expand-template-argument-category | The page is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize
after expanding a template argument (something in triple braces, like {{{Foo}}}
). |
| Pages where template include size is exceeded | post-expand-template-inclusion-category | The page size is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize
after expanding all the templates, so some templates were not expanded. |
| Pages with ignored display titles | restricted-displaytitle-ignored | The page has an ignored <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki>
because it is not equivalent to the page's actual title. |
| Pages which use = as a template | template-equals-category | The page contains <nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki>
but on this wiki that does not expand to =
. This usage is deprecated; a future MediaWiki version will implement <nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki>
as a parser function. |
| Pages with template loops | template-loop-category | The page contains a template loop, ie. a template which calls itself recursively. |
| Pages where the unstrip depth limit is exceeded | unstrip-depth-category | The page exceeds the unstrip depth limit. |
| Pages where the unstrip size limit is exceeded | unstrip-size-category | The page exceeds the unstrip size limit. |
| Pages with invalid language codes | bad-language-code-category | The page contains a <nowiki>{{#dir}}</nowiki>
with an invalid language code. |
| Pages with image sizes containing extra px | double-px-category | The page contains an image whose size contains an extra px
suffix, like 100pxpx
. |
