Bug?[edit]

When I try to view the page, it shows me the first 1000 and then doesn't show any more. I know there are more because it stops at 'B'. Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it? Thanks. ><RichardΩ612 UW 17:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

help[edit]

You could put the templates in catogorys to make searching easier Richardson j 05:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Option to hide redirects?[edit]

This page would be a lot more useful were it not full of redirects. While those redirects aren't used, that isn't a problem - most serve as redirects from old locations of the template, or alternative spellings, and are fine. The bigger problem is all of the templates that aren't actually used at all, and hence want to be passed through WP:TfD. Could some sort of modification be made so that redirects can be hidden (either by default, or by user choice) or the non-redirects highlighted (possibly in a similar way to Special:Allpages)?

Agreed, now how do we do that?--mitrebox (talk) 21:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

subpages[edit]

Does it really make sense that subpages are listed on that special page? It should be obvious that at least things like /doc and /sandbox are never used... Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 03:43, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update schedule[edit]

Perhaps it would be a good idea to state in bold that the page is cached, and how often it is updated, at the top of the page? fredgandt 14:40, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exclusion criteria[edit]

As noted in a couple of previous posts, there are some cases where pages should be excluded from this listing:

  • redirects
  • template subpages which are not templates themselves (e.g. doc pages)
  • templates which are meant to be substituted rather than transcluded

A workaround for the third bullet could be to create a special set of pages where the subst template is actually transcluded. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:51, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please adjust this report so that it specifically excludes templates that transclude {{substituted}} or that are members of Category:Wikipedia substituted templates? All pages ending in "/sandbox" and "/testcases" should also be excluded. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
