Tracking category Message name Category inclusion criteria
Pages with broken file linksbroken-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 callsduplicate-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 exceededexpansion-depth-exceeded-categoryThe page exceeds the maximum expansion depth.
Pages with too many expensive parser function callsexpensive-parserfunction-categoryThe page uses too many expensive parser functions (like #ifexist). See Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit.
Hidden categorieshidden-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 pagesindex-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 exceedednode-count-exceeded-categoryThe page exceeds the maximum node count.
Noindexed pagesnoindex-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 containing omitted template argumentspost-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 exceededpost-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 titlesrestricted-displaytitle-ignoredThe page has an ignored {{DISPLAYTITLE}} because it is not equivalent to the page's actual title.
Pages which use = as a templatetemplate-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.
Pages with template loopstemplate-loop-categoryThe page contains a template loop, ie. a template which calls itself recursively.
