Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Enable interwiki transcluding of templates from Miraheze Template Wiki

 * The global interwikis might work mh:template:Example. If they don't, to add an Interwiki for template wiki with transclude on globally is a 2 minute task that any Steward can do (or possibly Interwiki admin. There's no development work to do here and it's not within SRE's scope. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  21:19, 20 December 2021 (UTC)


 * MirahezeMagic pseudo-interwiki will definitely not work with transclusion, but you can definitely use interwiki transclusion, and, indeed, transclusion is enabled globally for the global  prefix. Dmehus (talk) 22:19, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposed by Rob Kam

Proposal summary: Make it possible for Miraheze wikis to easily make use of the templates at Template Wiki.

Full proposal: AFAIK interwiki transcluding of templates from Template Wiki isn't possible. Miraheze users still have to export, import, edit and debug templates from some other wiki to save themselves from duplication of effort. It would be great if the templates on Template Wiki were available by interwiki transclusion. For example for an infobox on their wiki the user would simply have to add.

Discussion
Post-closure comment for clarity&mdash;sorry Rhinos. This should already be possible by enabling scary transclusion in Special:ManageWiki/settings under Parser functions. Then you should be able to do { {raw:templatewiki:Something}}. The only difficulty with this is that it doesn't work for templates that use modules, and also likely fails for templates that use other templates. I don't think this is something we can fix, and might be an upstream problem. -- Void  Whispers 21:36, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
