At Commons, it seems that edits to templates don't lead to an update of the categorization of images transcluding the template. Even if there used to be some delay until a change had some effect, in the sample listed on [[Commons:Commons:VP]] nothing happened for two days. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump&oldid=50334479#Job_queue_length_.26_transcluded_categories permanent link]
As thedj wrote in the post "updating categories has very low priority in the job queue system. 3 weeks waiting time isn't out of the ordinary at times. Clicking edit and save on a page bypasses the jobqueue and forces re parsing of a specific page. " I checked 25 samples and they've all been updated by now.
I think theDJ is mistaken about "3 weeks waiting time isn't out of the ordinary [..]". Updates at Commons used to be much quicker. .. and no, one shouldn't need to click "edit and save" on each page. [[Commons:Category:Images_from_Nordenskirker.dk]] still has just 284 images, while [[Commons:Category:Nordenskirker.dk]] has 8467 images, despite [[Commons:Template:Www.nordenskirker.dk]] having been edited more than 14 days ago.
All WMF wikis are suffering from issues with the job queue issues. Welcome to the issues that the rest of the WMF wikis (especially the larger wikis) have been having for years.
Was there a change in the configuration of job queues or is this just a temporary problem at Commons? BTW [[Commons:Category:Images_from_Nordenskirker.dk]] is now at 707 images (not quite sure why).
Somehow the sample category got empty, possibly because someone run a touch-up through the category. The problem as such seems to persist though.
seems to work now.
