If you have used a route name in the call to this function, it will be parsed based on your routing.yml file, this means that if you don’t have a :page variable listed (and you probably don’t) the route will ignore the page argument that the pager function tries to add.

The easy solution is to add /* to the end of your routing rule, so that any other parameters are allowed.

E.g.

myroute:
  url:   /somewhere/:userid/*
  param: { module: myModule, action: myAction }
 
mynextroute:
  url: etc

Now your routing functions will add any extra parameters as necessary.
