On my site if for example I have a script that calls for {{Portal:Mycrap}}
the resulting search for the items is sent to the server as {{Template:Portal:Mycrap}} rather than just selecting the doccument Portal:Mycrap
[[Portal:Mycrap]] does as it should & calls the correct document.
This is usually caused by some template that I have copied from Wikipedia. I have checked the original template scripts that I have downloaded against those installed on my site & they are exactly the same. I have examine the calls issued within, Wikipedia and they seem to be exactly the same, except Wikipedia does not add the Template: portion to the document search. Any idea how to duplicate the Wikipedia performance on my site. Thanks john
