| Description: | result count is affected by the max result limit of DPL |
| Extension / Version: | DPL / 1.4.3 |
| Type / Status: | Bug / open |
Problem
It seems like %PAGES% should not be affected by $wgDPL2MaxResultCount, but it is. For example, http://pdbwiki.info/index.php/Talk:Main_Page
The DPL on that page reports 500 articles in the category. Any way that %PAGES% could specifically get its data from the database without hitting $wgDPL2MaxResultCount ? It seems that the idea of $wgDPL2MaxResultCount is quite contrary to its behaviour wrt. %PAGES%.
