[Mediawiki-l] Transclusion problem - Changing template doesn't refresh target

[Tim Ware]

I tried editing the source template ("Help"). The edits aren't  
showing up in the target wikis, even if I delete the transclusion  
code {{pwiki:Help}}, save and then re-enter it. There must be some  
additional step?

Thanks.

That did the trick, changing "?action=$action" to "&action=$action"  
in /includes/Parser.php.

So the values in phpMyAdmin:

iw_prefix =  pwiki
iw_url = http://against-the-day.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=$1
iw_local = 0
iw_trans = 1

Then, in the target wiki, I just did this:
{{pwiki:Help}} ("Help" being a template I created in the source wiki)

and voila! Thanks so much for the assistance!
