Notes column[edit]

As I already pointed out once, the query that checks for the notes column

  1. is restricted to the limit 50 and not to the limit set by the parameter limit of the main template Sold by; hence it might miss some results beyond 50 which might trigger it. It might not happen at all, but it doesn't hurt to be precise; the limit parameter should be passed to the header template and should be used in the query.
  2. prints out the searchlabel "... further results" which causes the template sold by header notes checker to trigger even when none of the notes column related properties are there; thus an unnecessary (since empty) notes column is shown if there are more than 50 vendors that sell this item. This parameter should be defined and left empty to avoid this.

Sure, the second one happens not very often, for example all the Merchant vendor items (in the range of ~400-700 vendors depending on the item) or the basic armor pieces are not using the Sold by template, but I actually managed to find some. Noteworthy pages (not all) are for example:

Leaving it here for later due to the wiki sitenote: "In order to ensure a short downtime, we ask that editors refrain from modifying templates which affect a large number of pages or uploading many images until the maintenance is complete." --Tolkyria (talk) 08:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
