Forum:Problem transclusing template in Welcome-user-page

Hi guys, I created this User profile template and added it to the Welcome-user-page so every time someone made his first edit, a infobox would automatically be added to his Profile. But instead of transclusing correctly, it added the entire codes of the User profile template. Is there anyway to fix this? Arciusazrael 15:45, March 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd first try to place   tags around the template and see how that works. The bot should drop the nowiki tags and leave just the template info when transcluding which should be what you are wanting. Rappy 19:54, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * That seems like a clever solution. Could help me a little bit more by making a random edit on my wiki, see if it works? I really ran out of email to create new account to test this :( Arciusazrael 02:51, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, that didn't work. Rappy 03:11, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just saw it. But thanks for helping Rappy Arciusazrael 03:13, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * You might want to experiment with a different MediaWiki message. MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page is a pain in the a*** to test. How about MediaWiki:Newarticletext instead?


 * And have you tried &lt;includeonly&gt; ? -- Pecoes 04:33, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tips Pecoes. I tried &lt;onlyinclude&gt; with Newarticletext and it worked. Now I'll wait and see if it works with Welcome-user-page as well. Arciusazrael 06:14, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Seems to work: w:c:valkyria:User:Pecoes. I gotta say: That's an interesting idea! I might steal that! :0) -- Pecoes 06:25, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

oh no, it doesn't work T____T. It adds the entire code of the template instead of: Arciusazrael 07:10, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

That's what I'm seeing. -- Pecoes 07:16, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I mean, you have to go into edit mode to look at the code. Any user should be able to edit his profile easily, but with this mess, an average user who doesn't know wikicode would not be able to edit it. Arciusazrael 07:27, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah. Sorry. I seem to have misunderstood your problem. In that case Rappy's suggestion probably wasn't far off. Maybe comining includeonly with nowiki will do the trick... I'll get back to you in an hour or so. -- Pecoes 07:36, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Let's try something else then! Please edit this page a little! -- Pecoes 08:38, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
