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: 1. 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
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.)
How can I get templates (and transcluded pages) to work across wiki instances?
(Mediawiki 1.15.3)

Setting an absolute path for $wgUploadPath in the target wiki would solve this.
Hello
I have a problem with subcluding a Template from one wiki to the other
I have enabled wgEnableScaryTranscluding and set iw_local and iw_trans in the rows associated with my iw_prefix of my interwiki table.
While transcluding with input {{wikiccv:annotations}} works fine subcluding with input {{subst:wikiccv:annotations}} gives this message :
[Template fetch failed for http://82.226.95.82/~wiki/wikiccv/mediawiki/index.php/Template:annotations?a...]
which in turn gives : Forbidden Raw pages must be accessed through the primary script entry point.
I am sorry, I do not understand the meaning of "primary script entry point"
Could someone help ?
Thanks Francois Colonna

Hello Francois,
This error means that raw pages must be accessed through a real URL like "/index.php?title=foo.js", instead of shortened URLs like "/wiki/foo.js" or "/index.php/foo.js". This only seems to apply to JavaScript pages (*.js) on Wikimedia wikis; there might be a configuration setting that changes whether it applies to all raw pages.

Thank you Jesse for your answer.
I got this message when I tried to "subclude" a template from a wiki to another. Here is an example :
{{subst:wikiots:annotations}} gives :
[Template fetch failed for http://82.226.95.82/~wiki/wikiots/mediawiki/index.php/Template:annotations?a...]
Do you have any idea of how to fix it ?
Thanks Francois

Did you try changing the iw_url in your interwiki database table to be of the form: http://82.226.95.82/~wikiwikiots/mediawiki/index.php?title=$1 as suggested[1] by Platonides in response to my similar problem? His tip of changing the interwiki table to use the index.php?title=$1 form appears to have worked in my case.

That generates an error message:

Fetching http://wikieducator.org/index.php?action=raw&title=Template:Objective with wget does appear to give me the raw template (with a MIME type of text/x-wiki).
Is some additional configuration necessary for Mediawiki 1.15.3?

Thanks, that fixed the problem with broken images in interlanguage transcluded pages.

This used to be possible, but was changed some time ago to require acccess via index.php

You could change the interwiki to http://wikieducator.org/index.php?title=$1
