Bug ID: 64060
Summary: GWToolset silently wraps some fields into MediaWiki
templates, which is problematic
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: GWToolset

The GWToolset silently wraps the content of Institution field in
{{Institution:}} and artist in {{Creator:}}.
This is problematic because:
1/ It does not say so, which is surprising for the user who might not expect to
see red templates on the results page (as said templates will probably not
exist).
2/ It is sometimes uncalled for. Artist might be values not appropriate for
Creator templates like "Unknown", or a local craftsman.
Not sure what the best way forward is. At the very least this should be
documented on the interface (I can submit a patch for that).
Tickbox to wrap the field (or to not wrap it for that matter)?
