Bug #: 28582
Summary: Nested templates will apply the formatting of the
outer template to the inner
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Low
Component: Templates
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The {{fact}} template on Simple English wikipedia will add a category "Articles
with unsourced statements since {{date}}". date is commonly set to values like
"February 2009". The problem with that is that if the facr template is used
inside another (eg. infobox) that uses number formatting, the year of the
"date" will also be formatted, before it is passed to the template fact. We end
up with a caegory: "Articles with unsourced statements since February 2,009",
instead of the expected "Articles with unsourced statements since February
2009". What is probably needed is a way to tell the system that arguments to
inner templates should not be parsed (and treated like "Text").
http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Skopje&oldid=2642872 gives an
example of this. Fact is used inside an {{Infobox Settlement}} which formats
numbers like population in the settlement and metro area.
