Revision as of 23:03, 3 April 2022 by imported>FrozenPlum (Add more information about issues I'm tracking for later reporting (I still need to test some other scenarios))

This is a space for me to track issues as I work through the examples to determine if what's stated to work as stated in the docs works as expected (or if they need adjustment).

Issue 1

The following causes an error (and page can't be saved):

[b337d46f656ee147c376d1de] 2022-04-03 02:31:36: Fatal exception of type "TypeError"
{{#dpl:
|imagecontainer = Apple¦Orange
|count=2
|openreferences=true
}}

Note: Tried with both "yes" and "true" since both examples were observed in different places in the old docs... neither worked, both resulted in fatal error.

Yet it works with this example:

{{#dpl:
|titlematch=Apple%
|openreferences=yes
}}

{{#dpl: |titlematch=Apple% |openreferences=yes }}

Another test:

{{#dpl:
|imagecontainer = Apple
|openreferences=yes
}}

This is broken, so it seems to be an issue when imagecontainer and openreferences are set together, since the removal of openreferences works fine.

Issue 2

{{#dpl:
|category=+Countries in Europe¦Countries in North America
|category=*Part of NATO
|headingmode=ordered
|ordermethod=category,pagetouched
|noresultsheader=<br>''no result returned''
}}

The docs state, that adding before the category "a '+' means that only the categories listed in that statement are allowed to appear as headings in the output," yet when this is done there are no category headings in the result (are these inverted or am I misunderstanding their docs?): Result:
{{#dpl: |category=+Countries in Europe¦Countries in North America |category=*Part of NATO |headingmode=ordered |ordermethod=category,pagetouched |noresultsheader=
no result returned }}


Where if a - dash is used instead, headings appear in the result, yet the documents state: "a '-' means that the categories listed in that statement are NOT allowed to appear as headings in the output (but all others)"

{{#dpl:
|category=-Countries in Europe¦Countries in North America
|category=*Part of NATO
|headingmode=ordered
|ordermethod=category,pagetouched
|noresultsheader=<br>''no result returned''
}}

Result:
{{#dpl: |category=-Countries in Europe¦Countries in North America |category=*Part of NATO |headingmode=ordered |ordermethod=category,pagetouched |noresultsheader=
no result returned }}

Issue 3
