Tracking categories

This page lists tracking categories which are automatically populated by the MediaWiki software. Their names can be changed by altering the relevant system messages in the MediaWiki namespace.

Tracking category	Message name	Category inclusion criteria
Pages with broken file links	broken-file-category	The 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	duplicate-args-category	The 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	expansion-depth-exceeded-category	The page exceeds the maximum expansion depth.
Pages with too many expensive parser function calls	expensive-parserfunction-category	The page uses too many expensive parser functions (like `#ifexist`). See Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit.
Hidden categories	hidden-category-category	The category contains `__HIDDENCAT__` in its page content, which prevents it from showing up in the category links box on pages by default.
Indexed pages	index-category	The page has a `__INDEX__` on it (and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed), and hence is indexed by robots where it normally wouldn't be.
Pages where node count is exceeded	node-count-exceeded-category	The page exceeds the maximum node count.
Noindexed pages	noindex-category	The page is not indexed by robots because it has the magic word `__NOINDEX__` on it and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed.
Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments	nonnumeric-formatnum	The page contains a non-numeric argument to the formatnum parser function.
Pages containing omitted template arguments	post-expand-template-argument-category	The page is bigger than `$wgMaxArticleSize` after expanding a template argument (something in triple braces, like `{{{Foo}}}`).
Pages where template include size is exceeded	post-expand-template-inclusion-category	The page size is bigger than `$wgMaxArticleSize` after expanding all the templates, so some templates were not expanded.
Pages with ignored display titles	restricted-displaytitle-ignored	The page has an ignored `{{DISPLAYTITLE}}` because it is not equivalent to the page's actual title.
Pages which use = as a template	template-equals-category	The 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.
Pages with template loops	template-loop-category	The page contains a template loop, ie. a template which calls itself recursively.
Pages where the unstrip depth limit is exceeded	unstrip-depth-category	The page exceeds the unstrip depth limit.
Pages where the unstrip size limit is exceeded	unstrip-size-category	The page exceeds the unstrip size limit.
