We've been trying to download wikipedia pages and their template dependencies and noticed that several pages use logic templates such as Template:qif to help display those pages. Mediawiki 1.5.4 won't render the logic in these templates, instead the template gets inserted verbatim. Is there a setting in the application that turns this on that we have just overlooked? How does Wikipedia handle the if else test clauses?
Thanks, Chris
Most of the (messed up) logic templates on Wikipedia and related projects use template syntax not available in the 1.5 branch of MediaWiki.
You'll either have to upgrade to CVS HEAD (which is not supported) or use another method.
