I suspect the issue may be due to the fact that when creating subpages of a module or the /doc subpage, the Translate extension (or MediaWiki core) defaults to the content model of the module.

This is the only thing standing on the way of full wikiproject automatization on the Spanish Wikipedia.

I'm actively working on the Excerpt module, making it more powerful and abstract so as to allow for identical reuse on every wiki.

The latest versions no longer use wgTitle and the initial bug report seems fixed.

I encountered the same issue when upgrading a wiki to 1.34. Upgrading the LabeledSectionTransclusion extension to the corresponding 1.34 branch fixed it.

I'm blown away, I knew nothing about this development and I'm so happy to hear it's so advanced already!!!

The current reference naming system is a problem for excerpts (transclusions of part of an article into another article) which are used heavily on the Spanish Wikipedia and may soon start seeing much more use on other wikis. The reason is that often, a part of an article containing a reference named :0 is transcluded into another article that also has a reference named :0, causing a conflict. The current solution is to just rename one of the references, but this is not easy for new users and sometimes it's not even easy for advanced users. This issue would no longer happen (or at least be very rare) if the references were named "semantically".

My motivation for this task was to use it within Wikipedia, but now I can do section transclusions (and more) with the Excerpt Lua Module, so I don't really need this done anymore. Still it would be a nice-to-have feature on MediaWiki, so I'm leaving it open, but I no longer plan to work on it.

This would be very useful for a wikiproject standarization effort (with smart templates) I'm doing in the Spanish Wikipedia.

This has become a problem for further development of excerpts in the Spanish Wikipedia. The desired usage pattern is:

Current version seems to support this perfectly.

This probably requires RecentChange::notifyLog.

@TheSandDoctor I fixed some flaws in your patch that you may want to avoid on other extensions. For example, MediaWikiServices needs to be made available with:

Thanks!

Fixed. In order to keep the solution generic, I modified ProveIt so that the "snippet" of the references must come from a required parameter of type "string". In case of Cite Web, since the only two required parameters are "title" and "url", and one is of type "url", it picks out "title". Hopefully this will suffice. As always allow a few minutes for the caches to catch up, cheers!

Well, I took a look at the error log and the extension, but have no clue what's causing the error. The error log only mentions "AnonPrivacy" once and refers to no file, method, function or anything from the extension. My best guess is that because AnonPrivacy modifies a bit the HTML structure of RecentChanges, that's triggering an error. So I did my best to minimize such changes, hopefully it works.

@Tgr Thanks for taking time off to explain some of the difficulties! I guess all I wanted to say is "perfect is the enemy of good". Whether it's shadow namespaces, bots or scary transclusions, at this point I think any half-working solution would be better than the current situation. Cheers!

Should be fixed now, thanks !

@Tgr That's only with "raw" transclusions. Subtemplates are not required to exist locally when "raw" is not used. But even if using "raw" were necessary, we'd just create the required subtemplates using "raw", and so on. Still fail to understand the issue.

Thanks! With your clue, I was able to figure out the exact steps to reproduce this issue:

I've been reading around this issue and doing some tests in my private wiki, and I fail to understand the reasons for not implementing centralized templates (not talking about gadgets or modules in this comment) using $wgEnableScaryTransclusion

I was thinking on adding an Archive button to the URL fields in the ProveIt gadget interface, similar to the Today button in the date fields that adds today's date, but that would transform a URL like "news.com/new-president-elected" into "archive.org/news.com/new-president-elected" and do the necessary archiving in the background through an API call to archive.org, I guess. I'm not 100% sure if this makes sense or is even possible because I haven't researched it yet, but that was my general idea when I created this task. Thanks for all the useful info though!

After some talk with the WikiJournal user group at Wikiversity, I decided to generalize this extension into InterwikiExtracts, archive WikipediaExtracts, and in some days start a new task for enabling InterwikiExtracts on Wikiversity, this time with the support of the WikiJournal user group. So this task makes no more sense and I'm closing it.

Thanks for the quick response, it works perfectly! I configured the mailing list and added links from the Wikidebate project homepages.
