What does this mean? CJC95 (talk) 14:41, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

It's an auto-generated maintenance cat, see Wikipedia's description for what it means. It's the same thing generating that "Warning: Template:Infobox is calling Template:T with more than one value for the "1" parameter. Only the last value provided will be used." message on every page that has an infobox when you hit preview. I don't know where the problem is, or if it even really matters.

- I can't see where any of these are calling a parameter twice, so I assume its happening in the templates. CJC95 (talk) 22:51, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
  - Yeah, if you create an empty page with set or minifigure or book template it happens. So its probably in Template:Infobox CJC95 (talk) 22:53, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
    - The mentioned templates are in this category, however template:Infobox is not. LegoFan4000 ^talk 23:11, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
      - Then something Infobox assigns and then Set/Minifig/Books reassign? CJC95 (talk) 23:14, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Ok. I think I know why this is happening, and there's nothing we can do about it as far as I can tell. Template:T is being called about 20 times, but the infobox only shows rows that are actually being used. Most pages only need about 5-10 rows, and T is used to hide the empty ones. So you end up with {{t|(formattting)Cyberman Fun Pack(/formatting)}}, {{t|(formattting)Item No: 71238(/formatting)}}, {{t|(formattting)Pieces: 40(/formatting)}}, etc. Then about 20 rows of {{t|(nothing, so hide the row)}}, ie, all the duplicate calls.
