Issue:Category names with ampersand not found?
| Description: | category= doesn't find category names like Category:AT&T |
| Extension / Version: | DPL / 1.7.6 |
| Type / Status: | Bug / open |
Problem
Category names like Category:AT&T cannot be found using category= since & is used as an AND Operator so it looks for Category:AT AND Category:T. Is there a way to disable the & operator or is this a bug (imo)? Example:
{{#dpl:
|category=AT&T
}}
|
{{#dpl:
|category=AT%26T
}}

Hmh, I'd like to know if I totally missed a setting or if it's really a bug. --Subfader 15:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- I use it on a form where you can enter on a category name. categorymatch= does the trick now, but I have to replace it with category= as long as there is no form action, otherwise it would result for categorymatch=(nothing). dirty but working, hrr.
