Tracking category Message name Category inclusion criteria
Pages with broken file links(4 P)broken-file-categoryThe page contains a broken file link (a link to embed a file when the file does not exist).
Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls(empty)duplicate-args-categoryThe page contains template calls that use duplicates of arguments, such as {{foo|bar=1|bar=2}} or {{foo|bar|1=baz}}.
Pages where expansion depth is exceeded(empty)expansion-depth-exceeded-categoryThe page exceeds the maximum expansion depth.
Pages with too many expensive parser function calls(empty)expensive-parserfunction-categoryThe page uses too many expensive parser functions (like #ifexist). See Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit.
Hidden categories(2 C)hidden-category-categoryThe category contains __HIDDENCAT__ in its page content, which prevents it from showing up in the category links box on pages by default.
Indexed pages(empty)index-categoryThe page has a __INDEX__ on it (and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed), and hence is indexed by robots where it normally wouldn't be.
Pages where node count is exceeded(empty)node-count-exceeded-categoryThe page exceeds the maximum node count.
Noindexed pages(empty)noindex-categoryThe page is not indexed by robots because it has the magic word __NOINDEX__ on it and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed.
Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments(empty)nonnumeric-formatnumThe page contains a non-numeric argument to the formatnum parser function.
Pages containing omitted template arguments(empty)post-expand-template-argument-categoryThe page is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding a template argument (something in triple braces, like {{{Foo}}}).
Pages where template include size is exceeded(empty)post-expand-template-inclusion-categoryThe page size is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding all the templates, so some templates were not expanded.
Pages with ignored display titles(empty)restricted-displaytitle-ignoredThe page has an ignored {{DISPLAYTITLE}} because it is not equivalent to the page's actual title.
Pages which use = as a template(empty)template-equals-categoryThe page contains {{=}} but on this wiki that does not expand to =. This usage is deprecated; a future MediaWiki version will implement {{=}} as a parser function.
