**Goal**: To export citation templates from Wikipedia and successfully import them into a non-WMF wiki
**Found instructions**: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Citation_tool cursory instructions on how to import citation templates
**Info**: The Mediawiki is an "empty" MW 1.35 set up just for testing changes. The MW was not installed via git clone and has been upgraded to the current version.
**Steps to Reproduce**:
Installed and enabled these extensions from git:
mw:Extension:TemplateData
mw:Extension:TemplateStyles
Ran composer in extensions/TemplateData and extensions/TemplateStyles: `composer update --no-dev`
Ran `php maintenance/update.php` and `php maintenance/runJobs.php`
Export templates needed with Special:Export, choose only latest versions, not full histories and ticked the box "include templates" and asked it to export
```
w:Template:Cite web
w:Template:Cite news
w:Template:Cite journal
w:Template:Cite book
w:Template:Cite AV media
w:Template:Citation
```
Did try to alter the database and insert the following values to content_models as per what Vulpix had in his database.
```lang=sql
INSERT INTO content_models VALUES (2, 'css');
INSERT INTO content_models VALUES (3, 'javascript');
INSERT INTO content_models VALUES (4, 'Scribunto');
INSERT INTO content_models VALUES (5, 'sanitized.css');
commit;
```
Import the templates with Special:Import finishes fine, but the citation templates are not working
Irc snippets from helpful people in the mediawiki-channel on freenode on 2020-11-19
```lang=irc
[20:52] <Vulpix> This would be the case if scribunto or TemplateStyles relies on update.php to populate the content_models table instead of "lazy-populating" it
[20:53] <Vulpix> Still, requesting a greater model_id than the greatest one present on the database is odd
[20:55] <onejukeboksi> Vulpix: I can confirm that it is trying to access an id that doesn't exist, because now the Internal error dump complains about 'id = 6' not being there. I just inserted values for 2,3,4 and 5
[20:58] <Vulpix> or maybe the contents of the content_models get cached on a service/memory/class, the new model gets inserted, but the internal cache doesn't get populated. When it tries to access the new created model from the cache, it's not found, crashes, and roll-backs the entire transaction
[20:58] <Vulpix> that would make more sense
```
Actual Results:
Any page (?) with citation templates an internal error:
```
''[5fbc8a084c204cb4609b0020] /w/index.php?title=Testing&action=submit MediaWiki\Storage\NameTableAccessException from line 43 of /var/www/kunsolan.fi/testing/wiki/w/includes/Storage/NameTableAccessException.php: Failed to access name from content_models using id = 6''
```
If I did not touch the content_model the error was seemingly the same, except complaining about inability to access record with id=2
Expected Results:
Successfully importing the templates
**Log of export-imported articles**

Selecting "Include templates" in the Special:Export lead to the following additional templates and modules to be exported
