Genius: line breaks before <noinclude> in templates cause grief! I had no idea that the line break before my <noinclude> was causing such problems. I have a feeling this is responsible for a few other weird effects I've not been able to work out. I hope this helps others.

The behavior you're seeing makes sense if you have the <noinclude> tag on separate line from the template itself.

Try using something like [[{{{1}}} by {{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]]<noinclude> {{documentation}}

</noinclude>

And if you can, provide full source for the template(s) or link to the template itself.

I've just noticed something odd. I only get this issue when the template "Book link" has got a <noinclude></noinclude> section (with documentation). I really don't understand now!

Is there a simple way to do the following?

I have a template called Book link: [[{{{1}}} by {{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]]

If I try to call that from elsewhere as a section heading:

=={{Book link|Title of the book|John Author}}==

Then the heading breaks and renders both the "==" directly on the page. Is there some way to get templates to expand inside section headings properly?

If I manually replace that with:

==[[Title of the book by John Author|Title of the book]]==

all is fine.
