Hello all,
Lately I was searching the Commons files for files without Information template or other
maintained infobox templates mentioned in
Commons:Infoboxes<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Infoboxes&g… [1] and
adding them to
Category:Media_missing_infobox_template<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wi…
[2] so me and others can add the information templates. One of the reasons why file might
be missing infobox template, is that there is a problem with parsing of existing
infotmation template, usually through some sort of {{}} [[]] bracket imbalance, such files
go into
Category:Pages_using_Information_template_with_parsing_errors<https://co…
. Files with such problem are found through CatScan3 queries for files not transcluding
{{Information}}, but which contain string "{{Information". Lately I had a large
number of "false positive" files that according to the CatScan do not transclude
{{Information}}, but which clearly have the template. That seems to happen occasionally
but usually edit required to add the category is enough for the database to refresh
it's links and a second CatScan query like [5] can find them. However this time it
does not work.
Any idea how to purge such files? See also [6]
