I think there will be some logical reason for this - either a bug in DPL or a problem on your side. I recommend to reproduce your problem here in this wiki with some sample data. I am quite confident that we will find out the cause.

BTW: The "*" - operator only searches one level deep in the cat tree, "**" goes two levels deep (more is not possible atm.)

You can use pseudo-recursion to traverse deeper trees as is shown in some examples on this web site.

Problem

There are lots of projects with universities in my wiki-db, connected with categories like "dep03", "Wien TU", "Regensburg U" and "project-id" and containing project-descriptions. When I use "*universities" and "dep03" as page-selectors (namespace=category) I don´t get a list of universities which are only connected with department 03. Why?--Hannds 0920 15:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
