Module talk:DYK scrutiny

Module may be attempting to get content of pages that do not exist

It appears that this module sometimes attempts to get the content of pages that do not exist, in the line that reads local ok, nomContent = pcall(function() return nomTitle:getContent() end). Today, this appears to be causing the code {{DYK scrutiny/helper|prep={{Template:Did you know/Queue/LocalUpdateTimes/PrepCalculator|prepoffset=2}}}} to transclude Template:Did you know nominations/Between the Covers (book), which does not exist. This transclusion, if I am correct, causes transclusions of nonexistent templates to appear on a report. If I am correct about all of this, and the module could check for the existence of pages before attempting to scan their contents, I think that might help. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:53, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the issue. And yes, you were correct; that was the cause of the bug. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 02:41, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

About some incorrect dates

@Rjjiii: At the moment, {{DYK scrutiny}} is telling me that prep 2 will run on February 20, which seems odd, as queue 1 ahead of it is running on February 23. (: —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:26, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
