Summary

Several tasks are not showing up in the site listings

Discussion

Sometime during the week July 19 2020 through July 26 2020 something has changed on the site to cause many tasks, some quite old, to no longer show up in the task listings.

It came to my attention when generating my weekly report for the Rosetta_Code/Count_examples task full list: Rosetta_Code/Count_examples/Full_list The list shrank by quite a bit. I initially attributed it to a bug in my program (and actually found and fixed one) but re-running it didn't help. On closer investigation, I found that several tasks are no longer being indexed on the Category:Programming_Tasks page. The pages still exist and seem to have correct markup, they just aren't being indexed.

A partial(?) list of pages that exist, but don't show up in the Category:Programming_Tasks list:

(At least, as many as I could find)

Checking the individual pages, can't see any issue that would prevent them from being indexed. There doesn't seem to be any common thread that would tie them all together, some are quite old, others are fairly recent, some haven't been edited in several weeks, nothing looks particularly suspect. At this point, I don't know what else to check.

The "missing" pages are (among other things,) throwing off the counts for my report pages and making for some odd results.

Any ideas? --Thundergnat (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
