::::::::Yep; that's exactly the problem I ran into. For a technical explanation: whenever a template is edited, the wiki software queues up jobs to automatically "regenerate" all the pages that include that template. As those jobs are processed, the pages should pick up new categories from the template. Unfortunately, the wiki software is not handling this specific case correctly--it appears that the raws are not being transcluded correctly during the regeneration, leading the conditional logic to conclude that no creature has the [FLIER] tag. When users edit the creature pages, though, the categories ''are'' regenerated correctly because the raws ''are'' transcluded correctly. I'm still looking for a solution to resolve the automatic regeneration problem, but since it only happens in the server's back-end processing it's hard to pin down. --[[User:Loci|Loci]] 08:47, 13 February 2013 (UTC) | ::::::::Yep; that's exactly the problem I ran into.

:That, sadly, does not sound like a very workable solution. When I changed the formatting in one of the templates, all the categories were emptied again. So all the creature pages would probably have to be null-edited again after every change to any template on the creature pages. Unless the bot can be fully automated, the categories are practically guaranteed to be incomplete. In light of these problems it would perhaps be best to scrap the categories entirely. --[[User:Loci|Loci]] 19:03, 25 January 2013 (UTC) | :That, sadly, does not sound like a very workable solution.

:: Let's not do that yet. I'm planning on upgrading mediawiki again shortly, and I believe there are fixes to this issue in newer versions of the software. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 01:26, 26 January 2013 (UTC) | :: Let's not do that yet.
