Wiki Help: DPL

Without altering database tables, how do I get rid of "Uncategorized pages" here:

http://eldritch.mechanipus.com/w/index.php?title=Help:Content

Thanks.

@Thenomain

Try:

notcategory={page}

?

ETA: It was magic parsing out my {page}

What the .... okay, something is doing some strange shit to my text. I think it's the templating system for nodebb.

notcategory=[page]

But instead of brackets, curly braces.

@Glitch: Nope. Not {} nor {{}} around page.

I believe what this does is: Exclude all pages with a category of <name of this page>. Since <this page> is "Help:Content", not sure that was going to work anyway.

@Thenomain I think it needs to be a specified category, instead of just page. Like:

notcategory=UncategorizedPages

@Glitch said:

notcategory=UncategorizedPages

"UncategorizedPages" is the page Special:UncategorizedPages, and the category is created by DPL as a way to list matched pages with no category.

I believe all "Special:" pages are created on the fly, and therefore trying "notlinksfrom" and "notlinksto" aren't working.

I can also make sure all help pages not intended to be listed have a special category ([[Category:Nohelpindex]], perhaps), but all coders are lazy and work very hard to stay that way.
