The Wants page and navigation link were not appearing on the site. The issue was a circular dependency in Eleventy 3.x:
pages/wants.mdpaginated overcollections.wants, but that collection required all want files to be processed first. When the collection was empty during pagination setup, Eleventy skipped rendering the template entirely.Changes
Created
wants/index.njk- Moved wants listing towants/directory where it's processed after the collection is populated. Lists all wants directly without pagination.Updated
_includes/layouts/wants.njk- Added fallback tocollections.wantsBySubmissionDatewhen pagination data is unavailable, enabling both paginated and non-paginated usage.Removed
pages/wants.md- Deleted file causing the circular dependency.Result
Navigation now displays the Wants link, and the page lists all 187 wants with search functionality:
