Description Asaf Bartov 2012-07-04 00:50:12 UTC
We use categorytree to display pages belonging to a given category.  Every now and then, pages would not show up despite belonging to the correct category, same as pages that do show up (the category is in fact included in a template included by both pages that do appear and ones that don't, so we know it's not a misspelling of the category name).

e.g. as of this moment -- this page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_UA/Programs_in_Ukraine_2012

Does not appear in either: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index/Requests
Nor, more distressingly, by directly accessing the category itself:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WMF_grants_funded_in_FY_2011-12

This is a major problem, as it can throw off reporting and hides information related to money expenditure.

This bug is invalid.

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_UA/Programs_in_Ukraine_2012> was sitting alone in the following category: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WMF_grants_funded_in_FY_2011-2012>. It should have been in <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WMF_grants_funded_in_FY_2011-12>. (Note "-12" instead of "-2012".)

Fixed with this edit: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=3875066&oldid=3862421>.
