Actually this shouldn't really matter, or does it lead to problems? The template blacklist was one of the earlier approaches to exclude templates from PDFs. Print templates and the template exclusion category are newer (and preferred) options: * All templates in the "template exclusion category" are excluded from generated PDFs. The default for the category name is [[Category:Exclude in print]] in English and can be adjusted through the system message Coll-exclusion_category_title. * Templates can be overridden with "print templates" during the PDF generation, by adding a second template with the name [[Template:OriginalTemplateName/Print]] (i.e. a /Print subpage). The pattern for print templates (default "$1/Print") can be adjusted through the system message Coll-print_template_pattern. > I cannot seem to create the page > either (even as sysop).

Another historic design flaw: The MediaWiki namespace is the wrong namespace to choose here (nevertheless it's the default, for historic reasons). If you really want to use a template blacklist, you can adjust (as wiki admin) the system message Coll-template_blacklist_title to a different page title, e.g. something in the project namespace like "YourWikiName:PDF Template Blacklist". -- Johannes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mwlib" group.
