Errors
[edit]If the template is used on an invalid page, an error message is generated and the page is categorised in:
Errors include:
- The page is not in the category namespace
- The page's title does not take the form "nationality television series debuts by year" or "nationality television series endings by year"
- The value of "nationality" does not correspond to a country name. The conversion is made using {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective}}, so the problem may be a glitch in that template's lookup table
