Hello all,
Lately I was searching the Commons files for files without Information template or other maintained infobox templates mentioned in
Commons:Infoboxes [1] and adding them to
Category:Media_missing_infobox_template [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 . 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]
