Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 1.8.9 : WARNING: Wrong 'ordermethod' parameter: 'title'! Using default: 'categoryadd'. Help: ordermethod= categoryadd | lastedit | none. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 21:14, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't like you using title. It wants you to use a different parameter.  Monchoman45  Talk  Contribs  Skystone  21:28,2/4/2011 

I 'fixed' the problem. Seems that with the MediaWiki update some errors when using different dpl syntax occur. Instead of copying the method to other articles I suggest you report it to Special:Contact though; this is a bug. Sovq 22:29, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I'll see if they can look into it. -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 02:23, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Staff said to stick to the forums or as the creators of the DPL. So do I copy the fix that you did for all the articles? -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 06:07, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

All I did was change <dynamicPageList> to <dpl>. If the <dynamicPageList> tags were supported by the wiki before the MW update and aren't now, then that is a flaw in the update - removing a working extension's functionalities. I suggested reporting the issue to the staff, since it's easier to wait for a fix to bring back support for the previous tag than to re-tag all articles using dpl, but since the staff suggests not waiting for a fix.. you might as well re-tag them. Hope there's not too many of them.. ;> Sovq 08:51, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

12 months. 6 each for different page linking. I hope it sticks. I checked out the pages in Explorer and the current Year wasn't showing on the Month page, so I hope this fix does something about that. Thanks again -- Bunai82 ^(talk) 17:55, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
