Bug: $name Not Found in apache error_log

In TWikiPreferences, if I use the automatic method of generating WIKIWEBLIST:

Set WIKIWEBLIST = %<nop>WEBLIST{"[[$name.%<nop>HOMETOPIC%][$name]]" separator=" %<nop>SEP% "}%

• hmmm, the verbatim tag is not keeping the variables from being expanded. Is that normal?
• See VerbatimExpandsVariables for the odd VERBATIM behaviour... [ RichardDonkin ]
  • For now I added <nop> to make them visible. -- PeterThoeny - 01 Dec 2001

I get this error in the Apache log whenever the TwikiPreferences page is viewed:

   [Thu Oct 25 09:19:57 2001] [error] [client 199.247.173.75] File does 
   not exist: /www/rr/pub/TWiki/TWikiPreferences/$name

This has nothing to do with your automated weblist, the error in the log also shows up in the production version, but only for the TWikiPreferences. The ATTACHEDIMAGEFORMAT preferences variable in topic defines the format of inlining attached images with a $name placeholder for the image, thus producing the error in the log. There is no real cure for that I guess.
