I have a small wiki farm. I would like to include templates (and in a couple of places transclude entire pages) from one "main" wiki into some of the smaller instances. I have enabled wgEnableScaryTranscluding and set iw_local and iw_trans in the rows associated with my iw_prefix of my interwiki table.
If I include a template like {{we:Objective|Think}} the text of the template is included in my page as I had hoped. But:
- the parameter reference doesn't appear to get substituted, it
renders as {{{1}}} 2. if the template (or other page I try to transclude) includes images, they render as broken images
Try with {{raw:we:Objective|Think}}.
In an attempt to fix the second problem, folks on #mediawiki suggested I setup a foreign file repo. That does allow me to transparently reference images that exist in the main wiki, but does not seem to affect the rendering of images in transcluded templates and pages. (Meaning [[Image:Objective.gif]] works, but if Template:Objective references that image, it is broken when the template is pulled across the interwiki reference above.)
Setting an absolute path for $wgUploadPath in the target wiki would solve this.
