Tracking categories

Jump to: navigation, search

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
Indexed pagesindex-category

The page has a __INDEX__ on it (and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed), and hence is indexed by robots where it normally wouldn't be.

Noindexed pagesnoindex-category

The page is not indexed by robots because it has the magic word __NOINDEX__ on it and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed.

Pages using duplicate arguments in template callsduplicate-args-category

The page contains template calls that use duplicates of arguments, such as {{foo|bar=1|bar=2}} or {{foo|bar|1=baz}}.

The page uses too many expensive parser functions (like #ifexist). See Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit.

The page is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding a template argument (something in triple braces, like {{{Foo}}}).

Pages where template include size is exceededpost-expand-template-inclusion-category

The page size is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding all the templates, so some templates were not expanded.

The page contains a broken file link (a link to embed a file when the file does not exist).

Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tagsdeprecated-self-close-category
