Forum:Magic words

Hmm, in testing some of the magic words (see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words), specifically PAGESINNS and PAGESINCATEGORY and I'm seeing some of them working differently here on Central vs w:c:skyrates, even though the Versions information was the same at Special:Version vs w:c:skyrates:Special:Version. Not sure if was just me w:c:skyrates:User:MrDolomite vs User:MrDolomite or was also happening on other wikias. Thanks. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 13:11, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I've had this problem with PAGESIZE and was told that these depend on the new parser; replacing the old one would break some templates, so it hasn't been done for all wikis yet, although some (including central) already have it, and it can be turned on by request if you have a "compelling reason" and are ready to fix any templates that may break. Call up Special:ParserDiffTest (that page should be on every wiki now); you'll see that difference in behaviour you describe side-by side there. The DiffTest is useful to check that your most sensitive templates won't break when the parser is updated (as it eventually is going to be). --◄mendel► 10:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
