: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.

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
}}
