Template talk:2016 New Zealand Paralympic team

Category inclusion
This template results in the linked articles ending up in Category:New Zealand sports navigational boxes and I cannot figure out why. Can you see what causes this?  Schwede 66  19:56, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Schwede66, looks like a caching issue. the problem was [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:2016_New_Zealand_Paralympic_team&diff=next&oldid=739321426 fixed here], but the articles needed to be purged to propagate the change. you can always test this by opening one of the offending articles, making no changes, then pressing save.

 * Thanks for the reply. I saw that edit, but it's now 20 hours later and I thought any caching issues would have resolved itself. Where does the caching happen - on my computer, or at the WP server end?  Schwede 66  20:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Schwede66, the server. I have noticed this problem has increased over the past six months or so.  I'm sure it's related to the "job queue" and/or performance trade-offs.  when you change a template, the server has to rebuild all the pages that transclude the template.  depending on how many other page rebuilds it has in the queue, this can take a long time.  I have a "mass purge" script that I used to purge all the transcluding articles in the case that there aren't too many, and I can't wait for the job queue.

 * Ah. I've certainly seen it before that changes to templates needed a few minutes, or even an hour, to come through. But it not being done 20 hours later is not something I'd come across before. Thanks again; I knew I'd get a competent answer from you.  Schwede 66  22:07, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * : I had the same problem so hence some of the edits. It was originally caused because I forgot to put in the tags around the category. You can mannually clear the cache on a single article by adding  to the end of the article's URL. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 04:13, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Red links
Paralympic athletes aren't inherently notable; only those who win a medal are. To link all articles is thus not the right thing to do.  Schwede 66  17:47, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I've delinked the red links now the Games have finished; we can link them again if they medal at the world championships or attend the Commonwealth Games. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 07:18, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
