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/WidescreenGCNAuto, a template only used on GameCube titles...

uses=Template:Problems/WidescreenGCNAuto titlematch=Ice%

uses=Template:Problems/WidescreenGCNAuto 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 DPL output on the page.

uses=Template:Problems/WidescreenGCNAuto ordermethod=title titlematch=Ice%

Empty Results
DPL queries that return no pages result in a series of errors causing the entire wiki page to fail to render. This ones irksome, as it prevents using DPL to pull in lists of GameIDs.

uses=Template:NonexistentTemplate
