Bug ID: 61341
Summary: action=raw&templates=expand does not expand extension
tag parameters
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser

action=raw&templates=expand should return the source code of a page, with
templates within the page expanded. However, if these templates contains
extension tag that contains template parameters as value, these parameters are
not expanded.
For instance, take extension RawFile
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RawFile). This extension introduce a
tag <file>:
<file name="myfile" tag="pre">download</file>
<pre>some text</pre>
When parsed, this tag generates HTML that allows downloading easily the content
of the <pre> block.
Now lets create a template {{download}}:
<file name="{{{name}}}" tag="source">download</file>
{{{content}}}
If I create a page with as content:
{{download|name=myfile|content=<pre>
some text
</pre>
Then downloading that page with ?action=raw&templates=expand would produce:
<file name="{{{name}}}" tag="source">download</file>
<pre>
some text
</pre>
When I would in fact expect:
<file name="myfile" tag="source">download</file>
<pre>
some text
</pre>
The strange thing is that the non-replacement only occurs if the tag is indeed
a registered tag. If the tag is not known, then all template parameters are
replace as in regular wikitext.
I think this the same problem that requires tag parser hook to call
$parser->recursiveTagParse( $text, $frame ) to have template parameters
expanded. I would recommend to expand recursively as well with option
templates=expand, or at least foresee another option (like templates=recurse or
template=expandrecurse) that would do the same.
