Forum:DPL With Templates not working

I'm having a problem on the Traveller Wiki with a DPL function working with pages that have templates. I created a Featured Article template using the following DPL function.

This copies a small chunk of the text to the page. This is then used on the front page as a "featured article" section. This allows creating a featured article block by just selecting an article.

The problem is if the page referenced has a template, the template isn't expanded. Is there any way to tell the DPL function to expand template in the page?

 * This issue is same as Forum:Problem with DPL. The problem is that the template processing, same as parser function are done now before DPL, so when DPL does the extraction of the text there is no more template processing to be done so it appears as text --
