Template talk:Extension DPL

Oddities
There seem to be some odd results occurring, adding a note here to hopefully work out what's going on or work out a clearer solution.

Uses Traces Through Disambig?
The "uses" clause, which should return a list of pages that use a template seems to trace through Disambig pages and also include those pages. For example, this DPL should return pages with titles prefixed with "Ice" and using Problems/GC Widescreen Auto, a template only used on GameCube titles...

uses=Template:Problems/GC Widescreen Auto titlematch=Ice%

uses=Template:Problems/GC Widescreen Auto titlematch=Ice%

...Only the GameCube title page actually uses the queried template. Kolano (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2015 (CET)

Title Sorting Broken
Using ordermethod=title fails with a "API error: internal_api_error_DBQueryError" error breaking all page output.

uses=Template:Problems/GC Widescreen Auto ordermethod=title titlematch=Ice%

Use ordermethod=titlewithoutnamespace as a workaround.

Regex Filters
Filters using regex seem to be broken, generating a "API error: internal_api_error_DBQueryError" error breaking all page output. titleregexp=Moero.*$

Missing Results
This fails to pull in both redirects to Batman Vengeance (i.e. GBVE41 and GBVP41). Seems related to titles including a space in them, problematic for the checks in Navigation docmentation.

Category Limits
Category filters are limited to using 8 clauses, so nine in the example below will not be searched for.
