Bináris, I am not sure what you mean by "embedded templates", in case of pages
from Commons creator namespace they are technically all templates and take
template parameters. I suspect not many people in other wikis were applying
bots to process templates and that is why not many people run into this issue.
In my case I know now what is causing the problem and can strip page text from
app the parameters like "{{{1|}}}" before applying Page.templatesWithParams
function . In my case it is easy since, text in creator namespace follows very
specific pattern and there is not much variation. However this might be a
serious issue for others.

Subject: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Problems with Page.templatesWithParams function
There is an old and serious problem with embedded templates that has not been
fixed. Please have a look at this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3158761&group_id=93107&atid=603138
Here I wrote a solution that worked for me in the given case, but it was not
applied to Pywiki beacuse somebody showed an example where it causes another
problem. It is not easy at all to catch embedded templates with regular
expresses. Try my solution, but this is just an idea and not sure to work for
you. You may want to adjust the regex to your needs (but don't forget you have
changed it!).
