Forum:Template breaks when copied between wikis...?

A while back I designed this template, and it works great on the JavaScript Wiki. But when I copied it to The Wiki Guide to PHP, it broke. I checked the versions of the two and they're identical (1.14.0). I tried subst'ing the template recursively (see the second page's history) and observed even weirder behavior.

Given the difference in interpretation, I'm pretty sure the PHP wiki's server is hiccuping somehow. (I just re-saved the JavaScript version and its dependency to make sure it's not a MediaWiki regression.) Can someone please advise on how to troubleshoot this? Should I contact a staff member, find the exact problem in the wiki markup, or maybe something else...? If the results were consistent across wikis, I would have taken the second option and maybe reported an MW bug, but I don't think either would help in this case.

 * Resolved - I think. It seems the PHP wiki was missing !. Hee hee... Always check the derivatives at bottom of page. :-) Ti m e ro o t T • C • E 22:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * D'oh... I didn't even know about that list of dependencies, so the bug I had just complained about bit me.

 * For me, it moslty never show a red link to the ! template (on some french wikis we used I instead but it do the same) and i think it depends where is located the template call... — TulipVorlax 02:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
