You mean like… checking the “Include templates” box on Special:Export? But the problem is more difficult than that. MediaWiki has no chance of knowing which templates are “necessary for it to work properly”, it can only detect those that are _actually used_ in a specific use case (as you say, those which are shown on the edit page), which is just a subset of those required in general. -- [[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
