I have installed a mirror of Wikipedia in my site here : http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/ But i have some problems. I never used MediaWiki in past and i'm a newbie. Can you help me ?
1) Some pages has strange words that don't exists in Wikipedia- For example the "Cats" page and the "Dogs page" :
http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/wiki/Dogs http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/wiki/Cats
has strange words in the page :
{{#if:| [[{{{diversity_link}}}|Diversity]]}} {{#if:| Binomial name {{{binomial}}}}} {{#if:Felis silvestris catus| Trinomial name Felis silvestris catus(Linnaeus, 1758)}} {{#if:| Type Genus {{{type_genus}}}}} {{#if:| Type Species {{{type_species}}}}} {{#if:| [[image:{{{range_map}}}|200px|]]}} {{#if:| {{{binomial2}}}}} {{#if:| {{{trinomial2}}}}} {{#if:| [[image:{{{range_map2}}}|200px|]]}} {{#if:| {{{binomial3}}}}} {{#if:| {{{trinomial3}}}}} {{#if:| [[image:{{{range_map3}}}|200px|]]}} {{#if:| {{{binomial4}}}}} {{#if:| {{{trinomial4}}}}} {{#if:| [[image:{{{range_map4}}}|200px|]]}} {{#if:| {{{subdivision_ranks}}}}} {{#if:|
Why these terrible words ? Exist a setting to disable the words in the output ?
2) I do not understand where is the system to change the output template/skin. I have changed some file in the directory /skins/ . For example the MonoBook.tpl but the output continue to be the same. If i change the directly the MonoBook.tpl file in the directory /skins/ why the output is identical ? A problem of cache ? I need ro change the html output to make it similar to my other pages different from MediaWiki. But i have failed to change the template. Why if i change directly MonoBook.tpl the output continue to be identical ?

These are uses of the ParserFunctions extension which is installed on all Wikimedia web sites and allows simple expression matching, etc. within wiki text. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions for information on how to obtain, install and use them.

Monobook.tpl is part of the callback template processor, which isn't in use at the moment. Edit skins/Monobook.php instead.
