Bug ID: 48567
Summary: Templates getting substituted when used in labels,
descriptions, and aliases
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If you set an item's label,[1] description,[2] or alias[3] to a valid template
call, the software actually renders the relevant field as if you'd input the
substituted text of the template. This happens both with direct editing and
with SetLabel.
Note also that HTML markup shows up in the page title as rendered by one's
browser (MediaWiki:pagetitle, that is), but not in the rendered label.[4] I
also can't quite figure out why the "<some item>" shows up in the page title
but not in the label - everything else that appears within curly brackets in
the template's markup is excluded from both.
Obviously there aren't that many valid reasons to set a label, description, or
alias as a valid template call (I discovered this bug when someone tried to
request an item's deletion by setting its label to {{Delete}}), but clearly
this shouldn't be happening.
