PAGESINCATEGORY doesn't work on my site.
I cannot seem to get the PAGESINCATEGORY magic word to work. My wiki treats it like its a Template.

Is there a setting that needs to be set somewhere to make it work? My Wiki Version is 1.13.1

I note that it works here: =

PAGENAME, titleparts and categories
I'm trying to create a template that:


 * Auto-categorizes the including page
 * Sorts on the page name, but with a leading sub-page element stripped (e.g. "A/B/C" becomes "B/C")

What I have so far is something like:



This fails because of the inclusion/substitution order, but for the life of me, I can't get the right ordering of  and subst: that works for this. Can someone help me out, here and either point me to somewhere that #titleparts is used with PAGENAME in a template or show me an example that's otherwise known to work? Thanks. -Harmil 20:48, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Not much explanation on this - what is the definition of an active user? Based on number of edits / views? How recent? --Robinson Weijman 09:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


 * /includes/SiteStats.php


 * It scrapes the recent changes table, so this depends on your Manual:$wgRCMaxAge setting. Splarka 08:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

 * §§ and also see that page for information about substitution (subst:) of these parser functions. §§

What I was trying to indicate is that if one wants to substitute Magic words that one needs to follow the link to get instructions on how to undertake the task as they are not contained on the this page. Billinghurst 11:24, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * But that isn't where one should go to get those instructions; rather, one should look at Help:Substitution, which unfortunately hasn't yet been imported from meta. Happy ‑ melon 18:17, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
