Bug ID: 58419
Summary: Copying a template from one page to another: render is
correct, but template is gone.
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ContentEditable

Let's copy the relatively simple {{irc}} template from
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2013-12-04
to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_meetings/RFC_review_2013-12-18
1. Open both pages in Edit mode.
2. Copy "#wikimedia-meetbotconnect" from one page and paste it in the other.
EXPECTED
The template is copied as i to the destination page.
ACTUALLY
If selecting only the text generated by the template, Ctrl-C seems to be not
enough. Ctrl-V in the other page will still paste whatever you hadd in your
clipboard before.
If selecting the text of the template plus some extra text, then Ctrl-C does
copy something, and Ctrl-V does paste a visually equivalent text.
However, when checking the wikitext source of the page one can see that the
original template has been rendered as HTML.
See
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Architecture_meetings%2FRFC_review_2013-12-18&diff=841813&oldid=838192
If this is part of a secret, long-term Parsoid plan to convert all template
instances to HTML, fine. However, if this is not the intended behavior... ;)
