This change caused Special:BotPasswords to show its summary twice, I opened a ticket at T328212

Will this also be implemented for the redirect table?

I've submitted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/746005 to resolve T64722, which could make this task unnecessary. With the change, the log entry would look like:

The fix that was used on the beta cluster only applies to the tabs that are added by the skin, and not the ones added by user scripts using mw.util.addPortletLink.

@Jdlrobson I split the part of this task about the new Vector skin off into T288367 since it was not addressed by the reason you closed this task and its really a separate issue.

A query shows that there are 6 million unique non-automatic edit summaries that use this syntax https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/54289 and considering normal links are already handled like this, I don't see why templates shouldn't be.

Sounds good, hoping for the best!
@Krinkle How would I work on this if there's no active owner? I would love to work on this as it could solve the same issues that the UseResource extension can, but if there's no one to review my commits what's the point?

From what I can tell the only way to solve this would be to add more fields to existing tables that track if the transclusion is directly caused by wikitext, create a new table that stores "template links" rather than transclusions, or to only store direct transclusions in the templatelinks table. The first two options would require changes to the database.

T19571 could also provide similar functionality.

That mostly works, but there are still issues if it's done that way. Let's say template A redirects to template B. If page 1 transcludes template A and template B, but page 2 just transcludes template A, they will appear the same in the templatelinks table, making it impossible for WhatLinksHere to correctly display links.

The task couldn't be implemented without adding new functions and config options to HTMLForm to avoid potential XSS injections.

One major use case would be the {{Empty section}} and {{Expand section}} templates at the English Wikipedia. The templates would be able to use this magic word in edit links by adding §ion={{SECTION}] to the links. This would make it easier for editors to help expand these sections and not have to navigate to them by scrolling through the editor for the entire page. See this section on the Village Post.
