Problem

Problem is some of my categories contain a & character. For example I have [[Category:Speak & Spell]]. When trying to include this category, DPL understands that I'm looking for articles that would in [[Category:Speak ]] AND [[Category: Spell]].

Create a Template (Template:amp in our case) which contains a single "&" and then write something like:

<dpl>
 debug=3
 category=A{{amp}}B
</dpl>
