Solved:
- Query of reserved sequences in template "My reservations" (2019-05-11)
- Incorrect sorting order at some Carol/Kynea pages. (2019-06-10)

I'm currently struggling with a problem getting the correct data:

The template My reservations should give a list of reserved sequences on a persons page like mine.

It's correct for that example, but for a person mentioned in the history of a sequence but not reserved by will display that seq, too. Not correct.

The reservation of a seq. is done by the sequence template if the corresponding parameter "XXXReserved" is set.
Typing the template "Reserved" directly in the page, will show the list of a person correctly, but that's not practical in use.
Until this problem is not solved, no person page should be created.

Done.
I managed to solve this problem but in another way I had in mind first.
The category "Reserved" still remains but in the templates for any prime collection I create a hidden link to a persons subpage (<PERSON>/Reserved) which than can be prompted in the template "My reservations" showing them on a persons page.

I've changed the font style of page titles:

The example shows the default font used in any page title in the first line,
the second shows the changed one.

Reason: It's easier to read longer numbers.

Issue: incorrect sorting order in the category for Carol/Kynea (and so in the table).

Although all pages for any base using the same template (which manages the sorting) and running internal php scripts for updating page linking/running jobs the sort order do not display correctly.
Therefore for the table page the sorting can be done by clicking on the header line for "Base".

Perhaps editing/saving more data on some of those pages will fix this later.

Done!
Clearing the incorrect sorted pages, saving them and after that refilling the data did the trick, although it's not the way to do. Sorting is now correct again.

Template "TableOfContents":

Showing a link list to navigate through categories with more than 200 pages will open a new browser tab instead in the same one clicking on such contents link.

I'd like to note a technical issue. I replaced the hardcoded link for the finders on https://www.rieselprime.de/ziki/Twin_Prime_Search with a call to https://www.rieselprime.de/ziki/Template:Contribs, in the hopes that finders whose real names are not known would not be linked, but they're still linked.

The problem seems in the ExternalData extension: you can't use any string/parser functions when listing the table value.
So I changed the data file containing the "[[...]]" for real names and the "(...)" for avatars.
I also added all new primes found for this project in that table/file.
There're still some other changes/additions to be made later.

That stinks about the extension. Glad you found a solution. I think though that the contents of that page should be split off onto a separate subproject page, given that TPS is starting two new searches and has ended the one for 480k < n < 500k.

Not sure if it's just me but I'm seeing an error message at the top of https://www.rieselprime.de/ziki/Cullen_prime_table. No idea what's causing it.

After my provider updated from PHP V7 to V8 there's a problem with the extension DynamicPageList.
To handle this I have to update first to a newer version of MediaWiki but hadn't the time to do it so far.
