[a] Do the requisite templates exist on your wiki?
[b] Wikipedia runs 1.6alpha, which supports various template syntaxes,
etc. that the release branch doesn't. Experiment against HEAD to
check.

Folks I am really stuck on the following issue and
would appreciate any help
you can give me.
It is a fairly simple one is that I am wondering how can I setup and
configure a local install inside my own network to allow for portals to be
created? I am working on a project for myself and want to give it a portal
interface for those in my organization to be able to get updated content as
soon as possible. I wish I could just add the portal to wikipedia because I
have created it many times there and it just works but on my local install I
just get strange page formatting.
For example when following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal I
just get the following printed out on the window after saving the main
Portal:Topic page {{Portal:box-footer | {{{1}}} }}. The result for the
headers and foots are no different. Its almost as if the {{ directives are
just being removed and the rest of the text just is left hanging then.
I have went through the steps of adding the Portal namespace and enabling
subpages but am stuck as can be.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
John
