[edit] Template Bug
Sometimes, articles with the planetmath template do not appear here.
One 29 July 2005, Googlpl noted:
- I've found out that when one writes:
- {{planetmath | id=4021|title=Apéry's constant}}
- instead of:
- {{planetmath|id=4021|title=Apéry's constant}}
- (without space) the problem vanishes.
Thanks, Googlpl. linas 00:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- That's an example of the regression fallacy, I'm afraid. :) The actual problem was that adding/removing a category to/from a template wouldn't cause pages including the template to gain/lose the category until the including page is edited. Editing the page to include spaces would fix it; so would editing it to fix a typo, or anything else. Now adding categories to templates does eventually recategorize including pages automatically, but not right away (see m:Help:Job queue, and thank brion for the tip).
In the future, file bugs at Mediazilla: so they can be dealt with. In this case, I filed Mediazilla:6389 and was corrected in one minute. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 01:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
