On my Mediawiki installation I use some links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Mediawiki; for providing completeness to some supporting but not essential areas.
If I use this as the link: {{wikipedia::Inductive reasoning}}
I get a page that has the site logo and border instructions and menu from my website overlaid onto the Wikipedia page. This does not happen every time I use this type of link, only about 15% of the time.
If I use this link; {{raw:wikipedia::Inductive reasoning}}
The page format is correct, but of course the Templates & links within the transcluded page do not work.
The fact that it varies from linked content, to linked content, tells me that there is something I am doing wrong or that there is some element of formatting that I'm missing.
Any ideas/tips, etc. Thanks! frosty

I assume you're using the scary transclusion? Can you provide a link to such page?

Pardon the slowness of the link, please. Thanks for the quick response.

You know that you can directly use freedns for the dynamic ip, removing the need of dyndns and the frame, right?

The page is incomplete. If you look at the html source, you'll see the page content ends at: <tr style="height:2px
This causes a mismatch which the skin, which is then placed incorrectly.

The slow connection is probably responsible that many of your requests get truncated. However, MediaWiki should have been smarter and detect that.
I have added such detection at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/6874 Adding that patch into your wiki should fix it (it will show an increase of fetching errors, but it's preferable than accepting and caching bogus data).
Also, you should enable curl extension if you're not using it.

Yes, I'm aware of it. Just haven't taken the time to do it. Guess I will now. LOL

WOW that went completely over my head. At least over my skill set. I have no idea how to patch the Mediawiki. Can you point me to some instructions? If it's just adding a file, no prob. But I'm guessing this is actually patching the Mediawiki core. Is this in the new 1.19 releases? I'm running 1.18 & perhaps an upgrade will manage the issue???
Will Do!! Thanks

OK I figured out how to do this and its done.

There seem to be several extensions that have cURL in the process, but no Extension:cURL or the like. Did see Extension:WikiCurl. A more precise name maybe? thanks! frosty

I mean, php curl extension. If there's an entry for that on a php phpinfo, then you have it.

OK I did install the php curl module along with Extension:WikiCurl and it seemed that did the trick...for a while. I updated my Debian Php with a stable upgrade and now none of the {{wikipedia::linkname}} work. I,m not sure what caused it. I am sure thats what caused it. see new post with "[Mediawiki-l] Issue with recent Php5 update" as the subject. Thanks for sticking with me on this. I,m trying to get this site ready to be moved to a remote hosting server & really need to get the bugs (of my own doing) worked out. Thanks frosty
