Problem
I have a mediawiki site at superdelegates.org. Its goal is to track superdelegate endorsements in the US Democratic presidential race, and having a dynamically updated list of the number of endorsements was my goal - DPL seems to be perfect for this goal.
I installed the extension without a problem, and it's returning results. The problem is that it's returning the wrong number of articles in one of the categories. (The other two categories are properly counted.) You can see here where DPL says there are 107 articles in the category "Delegates who have endorsed Hillary Clinton". The problem is that if you click through to that category, you'll see that there are 260 articles in that category.
Have I done something wrong? Is there something I need to do to ensure DPL returns the proper article count?
Thanks,
Rick
