I recently upgraded to 1.28. Before the update I could pass a category into a template:
<includeonly>{| |align="center"|Also see [[{{#if: {{{term|}}}|{{{term}}}|{{{1}}}| }}]] |}</includeonly>
But now it fails if I pass "Category:Foo" or ":Category:Foo".
In the first case (with term=) it tries to assign the category to the page the template is on. In the second case it fails at the colon. I have tried using : and making a template:colon that returns : -- both failed.
I feel that I am missing something simple, but can't figure it out.

#if introduces a newline in certain circumstances, which causes problems. However you don't even need it in your example. Try:
<includeonly>{| |align="center"|Also see [[{{{term|{{{1}}}}}}]] |}</includeonly>
which should fix the issue.
If you were doing a more complicated example that actually needed the #if, you could also try putting the : outside the variable:
<includeonly>{| |align="center"|Also see [[:{{#if: {{{term|}}}|{{{term}}}|{{{1}}}}}]] |}</includeonly>
(I'm not really sure why the above works. I think the newline gets suppressed if the previous line ends in a word character or something)
If you really didn't want to force a : to always be there, the last option is to move the brackets inside the clauses of the #if:
<includeonly>{| |align="center"|Also see {{#if: {{{term|}}}|[[{{{term}}}]]|[[{{{1}}}]]}} |}</includeonly>
Hope that helps.
