::::Okay I have reverted PH 0447's edits to that template. Hopefully they can help to sort this out — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 09:41, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
:::::my $.02: the poverty incidents template sucks stuff directly from wikidata and pass it to chart module without any test/sanitation. Edits on wd which do not adhere to what chart expect can trigger "lua errors" pointing to chart module when the real culprit(s) are either wd or the template. One contrived example is like so: the default delimiter this module expects is colon. The template does not override it, takes labels "as is" from wd and passes them to the module. If such label for some wd item contains a colon, the module will interpret it as a delimiter, which may trigger lua error.
:::::Templates which suck data from wd should sanitize it before sending it to this (or any other) module. When they fail to do so and errors pop up, these errors will point to the module, even though it's really innocent, and the blame should be placed elsewhere.

::::::Whoops. Sorry my bad. I was trying to put a new column since we already have a data for 2023. Apologies to all editors if it causes errors. [[User:PH 0447|PH 0447]] ([[User talk:PH 0447|talk]]) 02:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
== Category ==
The past two runs of [[Special:WantedCategories]] have featured a redlinked {{cl|Pages using the Chart extension with rendering errors}} that I cannot recall ever having seen there before — so I don't know if it's a genuinely new thing that this module only recently got coded to start generating, or an old thing that just never showed up because this module never saw errors before. (I suspect the former, because the above discussion does remind me of a ''different'' type of redlinked error category that I used to see frequently but haven't recently, but I don't know enough about the module to be absolutely certain of that.)
But either way, it needs to be created if it's a category you want to exist, or killed off so that it never happens at all if you don't want it to exist, because templates and modules shouldn't be autogenerating redlinked categories. So could you either create it or edit the module to prevent it? Thanks. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 15:53, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
: Created. This actually comes from [[mw:Extension:Chart]], not the module, but you had no good reason to know that. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 19:11, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
