I have built a rather large site & for some reaso when I issue a call to the mediawiki server that is configured as below: {{PW:Reference desk/Archives/Answered questions}}  The server searces for the page; Template:PW:Reference desk/Archives/Answered questions rather than the page PW:Reference desk/Archives/Answered questions; On Wikipedia the server selects the "page" not a "Template:" using exactly the same coding for the call. Any ideas on how to clear this up. Thanks! John

It doesnt. Mediawiki behaves the same. But what your looking for is the {{:Page}} syntax On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 10:31 PM, John Foster <jfoster81747(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Would you mind elaborating a bit. My search on this was rather inconclusive. I got a lot of .asp stuff but no help there.

Use {{:Page}} the prefixed : in the call makes the parser look for that page title instead of a template by that name. On Thursday, August 14, 2014, John Foster <jfoster81747(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Also is PW the actual defined namespace? On Thursday, August 14, 2014, John <phoenixoverride(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Ha!! I think that is the issue. I've actually never "defined" PW as a namespace. Let me look into that & we will see. Many Thanks!! john

If PW isnt a namespace that means mediawiki is treating it as a page in the main namespace ns0 and you would need to prefix the transclusion call with : See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion#How_transclusion_works On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 10:22 AM, John Foster <jfoster81747(a)gmail.com> wrote:

New subject: SOLVED: Template: call vs. page call

Adding the custom namespace solved this issue, alsong with using the {{:page}} format when I notice it. This was mostly the result of using copied pages from other wikis & likewise their templates. Thanks john On 08/15/2014 09:22 AM, John Foster wrote:
