Forum:Cat help

Alright. The categories over on Kingdom Hearts Francophone Wiki aren't working and we need dire help.

It all started when I was subcategorising user templates - there were a whole lot of talk bubble templates so I used a new subcategory, Talkbox... Problem is, despite me having put in the noinclude tag, it's not working !

Worse, now, even the uncategorised files are not being refreshed, and even though it says that it was last updated on the 6th of April, many of the files have already been categorised...

Someone please check this out and give us a hand... ? Sulu mata  engkudu !  01:36, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * If the pages the template is used on are required to be the ones IN the category use the


 * See example Here The 'noinclude' ones are categories for the template it self to go in and the 'includeonly' one places the pages it is 'used' on into that category. (Templates from Wikipedia)


 * Sorry - I dont read french so a lot of the wiki is meaningless to me, so i'll not try changing any thing. Some category updates have been abit slow at times as they are don in the background & if system updates are taking place the job que can be longer. Try it on a template that is only on a few pages first as a test. - BulldozerD11 02:18, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * Don't know whether this wiki is facing the same problem as w:c:gintama. The pages in categories are not refreshing correctly when the categories are assigned in the transcluded templates. There are close to 200 character pages but only 80+ page links are showing up on the Category:Charcters page. However, if you look at individual character page, you can see category:characters below. The list only updates when I do a null edit. The template was changed to include category:characters about 1 week ago. Strangely the sub-categories seem to be updated, the number of characters pages should be the same as the sub-categories, which is close to 200. The same seems to be happening for the category:OST as well. Gin-san (Talk) 09:35, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it's the same problem. I've been trying relentlessly to clear my browser cache (I do that everyday, and I'm using IE8), but it seems that I'm viewing the pages/categories/Special Pages similarly. Sulu mata  engkudu !  13:04, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not an expert, but this might be site cache. Categories can be stubborn. Waiting will probably solve the problem - if not, get a better opinion. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  23:21, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Truth be told, even Angela has no idea. I pinged her on her talkpage over KHFR and she herself told me she wasn't familiar with the category issue. Sulu mata  engkudu !  00:57, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
