edit@Frietjes: This template results in the linked articles ending up in Category:New Zealand sports navigational boxes and I cannot figure out why. Can you see what causes this? Schwede66 19:56, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- User:Schwede66, looks like a caching issue. the problem was fixed here, but the articles needed to be purged to propagate the change. you can always test this by opening one of the offending articles, making no changes, then pressing save. Frietjes (talk) 20:00, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I saw that edit, but it's now 20 hours later and I thought any caching issues would have resolved itself. Where does the caching happen - on my computer, or at the WP server end? Schwede66 20:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- User:Schwede66, the server. I have noticed this problem has increased over the past six months or so. I'm sure it's related to the "job queue" and/or performance trade-offs. when you change a template, the server has to rebuild all the pages that transclude the template. depending on how many other page rebuilds it has in the queue, this can take a long time. I have a "mass purge" script that I used to purge all the transcluding articles in the case that there aren't too many, and I can't wait for the job queue.

- @Frietjes: Ah. I've certainly seen it before that changes to templates needed a few minutes, or even an hour, to come through. But it not being done 20 hours later is not something I'd come across before. Thanks again; I knew I'd get a competent answer from you. Schwede66 22:07, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Schwede66: @Frietjes:: I had the same problem so hence some of the edits. It was originally caused because I forgot to put in the <noinclude> tags around the category. You can mannually clear the cache on a single article by adding
?action=purgeto the end of the article's URL. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 04:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Red links
editParalympic athletes aren't inherently notable; only those who win a medal are. To link all articles is thus not the right thing to do. Schwede66 17:47, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Schwede66: I've delinked the red links now the Games have finished; we can link them again if they medal at the world championships or attend the Commonwealth Games. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 07:18, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
