I wrote Manie an Email to activate it.

The bot did also add interwikilinks to nl.wikt as shown here 
http://af.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Sjabloon:tg&action=history
which is a template in template namespace, but also on nl.wikt this will 
cause problems since there were also interwikilinks addet to this template
http://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sjabloon:tg

The templates in non template namespace on tg.wikt was actually Your 
addition 
http://tg.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Sjabloon:tg&action=history
There the template does exist also under the right namespace 
http://tg.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD:tg

Best regards,
