The issues is the same, but I think it deserves it's own ticket. In this area we have:

• T203160 Mark unadapted templates in grey and skip publishing them (last part still missing)
• T225716 (this ticket). Don't mark in grey those that were well adapted.
• T224437 Show the correct warning depending on whether the template was incomplete or missing.

They are related but each cover a different case. I hope this provides some clarity, but feel free to ask for further details or propose any other organization that makes it easy to solve them.

While recursively adapting contents, the Especial:FuentesDeLibros/0472095110 MWLink adaptation result was false.

I'm not sure I completely understand this. So the failure of one part was propagated to consider the whole adaptation was not perfect?
For the current ticket we are focusing on cases where the adaptation (a) fails completely (source template has parameters, but the target is completely empty) or (b) where the target template has mandatory parameters being empty.

So the following cases should be rendered normally in blue (*not* in gery):

• Source template is empty (template with no parameters) and generates an empty template in the translation.
• Source template has parameters with information and generates a template with some parameters filled and others missing (none of these marked as mandatory).

I hope this helps for check the different cases when developing and testing.

@Pginer-WMF, to clarify, I was writing down, the root cause, not the expected behavior. I have fixed the issue in the patch linked.

[mediawiki/services/cxserver@master] MWReference: Correct the way adaptation status is calculated

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/524204

I tested this on cx2-testing and the warning no longer shows (EXPECTED).

One thing I noticed was that after the article is published, the reference is empty, is this due to it not existing on cx2?

Yes. If you look at the published wikitext, the information is there:

{{Ref-llibre|cognom=Frisancho AR|títol=Human Adaptation and Accommodation|any=1993|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-K_SYHBo42MC&pg|pàgines=175–301|isbn=0472095110|editorial=University of Michigan Press}}

However, the Ref-llibre template is not available in the CX2 test instance, so the rendered article just shows the template name in red (which is the way to represent a template not available).

If you copy the generated wikitext to Catalan Wikipedia, where the template is available (e.g., in your sandbox there), the content should render as expected.

nice trick, thanks!
