Re: [MediaWiki-l] Sitewide problems after importing Template:Infobox from en.wikipedia (solved!)

Hello, I have WP 1.25.1 from source. I wanted to be able to post condensed meta on the right-side of my articles in an "Infobox", like Wikipedia does. Found several "How-to" on exporting/importing templates from one source wiki to destination, like: - http://trog.qgl.org/20110815/setting-up-infobox-templates-in-mediawiki/ - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Importing_Wikipedia_infoboxes_tutorial Followed the step, imported 20+ templates (checked "Include templates" on export page), and now none of my templates are rendering! Even completely standalone templates I wrote before (they worked before import) stopped working. All with the same error, "Parser::braceSubstitution: template inclusion denied", ex: Can anyone give me any pointers on what could be the cause? I verified that: - Lua interpreter (standalone) itself is working, I have a log of successful Lua module invocations - I have extensions: ParserFunctions, Scribunto, InputBox and TemplateData installed Could it be that I am missing some recursively required templates? (I noticed existence of some not ordinary templates, like "Template:((", or "Template:!!", etc.) If so, how could I identify which one(s)? It seems "export" does not takes recursively all needed templates - it stops on first level of indirection. I tried to manually list all templates needed for Infobox with their children recursively - the list keeps growing with no end (have 270+ templates/modules in the list now). If the Infobox "required templates" tree is so deep, is their a way to import all templates and modules from wiki at once? (Are the not part of install from source tarball? May be I have them locally already, just need to load to DB?) And finally, if this route is so complex, is there an easier way to create an Infobox on a new wiki? Is creating them from scratch is any easier (perhaps it will be not as polished but close in functionality)? Please point me to a guide/how-to for creating "Infobox-like" box on right-side of an article. I hate to settle for "home brew" solution but I am ready to give up the dream of having wiki-consistent UI. How does everyone else accomplishing this? John
