If you're trying to emulate Wikipedia's configuration, I hope you know about
Wikimedia's NOC.[1]

Error messages like this are pretty easy to grep for, either in the PHP
source code or in Special:AllMessages.[2] In this case, it's displaying the
"pfunc_expr_missing_operand" MediaWiki message,[3] which means it's likely
that there's something wrong with your ParserFunctions extension
installation. That's at least a start in the right direction. Make sure
you're using a compatible version of the extension with your version of
MediaWiki. MediaWiki's ExtensionDistributor tool[4] can help with this.

wikitech-l isn't really an appropriate venue for these types of questions.
You should try #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net or mediawiki-l.[5][6]

Hope that helps.
