Okay, so there is an issue. One user made his templates incorrectly. They are like this { { User blog:Pjo06/MoncheleConspiracy } } when they should be like this { { Template:xxxxxx } } and it causes every page that it is on to get teh blog post category, including user, talk, and comment pages when it should not be there. How would I fix this template to not add that category.
I'm down on the daydream but that sleepwalk should be over by now, I know! 03:11, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
- The quick fix would be to have him edit the User blog:Pjo06/MoncheleConspiracy page (you can do it yourself if you're a sysop there) and enclose everything with <onlyinclude> tags. That will stop the Blog posts category from being transcluded with the template. E.g.
<onlyinclude> *content to be transcluded goes inside here </onlyinclude>
- Another equally quick fix would be to just remove the Blog posts category from that page.
- Finally, another option would be to move that blog to the template namespace, and then go back and replace every single occurrence of {{User blog:Pjo06/MoncheleConspiracy}} with {{MoncheleConspiracy}} (after you've renamed the page to Template:MoncheleConspiracy). A bot could be used for this purpose -- if you don't have a bot, perhaps someone who takes bot requests here on central could help you. — Mathmagician 03:31, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
