Does "categorymembers" work different from the others? When I try http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=emb... it returns exactly the same results as http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=emb...
"categorymembers" doesn't seem to be the same - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=cat... returns nothing, while http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=cat... returns the list of articles.

I think embeddedin should handle this the same as categorymembers: what happens if you have Template:Example and Template:Template:Example and someone specifies &eititle=Template:Example ? The fact that the namespace prefix is implied and must not be specified should be documented of course.

I think EI should not guess the namespace, because you can transclude from any namespace. Categories are different, since it is only used with NS 14.

Weirdly enough, the above is simply not true: [1] returns the expected result whereas [2] returns nothing (no page transcludes {{:LGBTProject}}).
The described semantics of categorymembers are accurate, and, as Brion pointed out, correct.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=emb... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=embeddedin&eilimit=20&eititle=Template:LGBTProject [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=emb... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xmlfm&action=query&list=embeddedin&eilimit=20&eititle=LGBTProject
Is that a recent change? [1] and [2] *were* returning the same things...
Thanks for the replies. --SatyrTN
