Extension cannot delete pages in categories

2

Any time I try to perma-delete a page that is in a category, it throws a "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBUnexpectedError" exception. Possibly because the extension does not remove category associations for the page (?).

This is also most likely the cause of the problem many others are having, where certain pages work but others don't (see below).

Temporary work-around: manually remove all Category tags from the page before perma-deleting it.

This happened to me because I was using a semantic mediawiki template in those pages I wanted to delete. I deleted the template and the problem went away. The template had a bunch of parser functions , so my guess is that was what it was Mark 02:50, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
