This is not a software issue.

@Bugreporter: That reply is not particularly helpful. :)

Hi @Zied_dhf. This does not sound like something is wrong in the code base (a so-called "software bug"), but instead like a support request (how to change settings, questions how to do something, etc.). As Wikimedia Phabricator is for bug reports, enhancement requests, and planning work, please check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication and bring this up on the support desk - Thanks for your understanding!

Thank you for clarification, it's totally my bad.

Is it on your wiki or Wikimedia?
If your, you need to install Extension:JsonConfig and import also data from Commons or modify module to not use them or disable some of its features.

Thank you very much, we were using JsonConfig extension but not configured to support wikimedia templates, after configuring it the issue is solved.
