Seems fine to me. Create a *VERY SPECIFIC* and *LEGIBLE* test case please.

Closing WORKSFORME.

Sorry for the delay Brion!

I added [[yi:template:dir rtl]] at [[yi:MediaWiki:Perfcachedts]].

However at [[yi:special:Ancientpages]] the template renders as {{{text}}} .
This should be the case also at other special pages which are cached.

You are a [[yi:special:Listusers/sysop]] at [[yi:]]. If you revert to
http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Recentchangestext&oldid=21344
you will can see at [[yi:special:Recentchanges]] the problem reported originaly .

As far as I know 'MediaWiki:Recentchangestext' allows wiki syntax. The original
question was why [[yi:template:dir rtl]] and [[yi:template:dir ltr]] render
there as {{{text}}} .

Unable to reproduce on a local wiki running 1.7alpha (r14015).
Steps taken:

1. Switch on $wgMiserMode
2. Create test template {{foo}} and whack some basic text in
3. Edit MediaWiki:Perfcachedts to include {{foo}}
4. Run updateSpecialPages.php

Viewing, e.g. Special:Wantedpages shows up the message at the top, as expected,
with the contents of the template transcluded and parsed, as expected.

Looking at the template, it appears that it expects a parameter named "text" to
be passed. Dumping {{dir rtl}} in a message will cause the template to be parsed
as expected; the absence of a "text" parameter causes {{{text}}} to be dumped as
HTML.

Resolving WORKSFORME.
