A problem popped up for me while I was trying to build a template that works in a pretty specific way. It interacted poorly with a preexisting template I was hoping to increase the features of.

I've left an example of the problem on the page of the template I was building: https://duma-eng.fandom.com/wiki/Template:V

What I'm trying to do here is pass the template to a preexisting template  seen here: https://duma-eng.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Skill

I've cut down the template and even copied it into an example on. The top block of text on 's page is a raw copy of  with  inserted into where I would normally pass it. works as intended here, as the collapsible element displays properly. The bottom block of text is with  passed to it. They should be identical, but for some reason breaks when passed to  resulting in the collapsible element becoming that mess.

I have no clue how to get this working, but I feel like a pair of templates should be able to interact this way without a problem. At the very least, the element's {| shouldn't be visible at all, but I'm no expert.

As I have already extensively used on the fandom the only alternative I'm willing to take is other minimizing elements I can put into  template that won't also break when passed as a template of their own. It would be a massive undertaking to change to provide those elements on its own. I say, as I start editing the template, I may find an alternative method in a short while, but a solution for the original problem will be welcomed with open arms.


 * Forgot to mention that the actual collapsing table/element that is passed to is written (not passed) into  from another template  seen here: https://duma-eng.fandom.com/wiki/Template:SmallHeader

As an additional clarification. What I'm trying to get out of this is a table/collapsing table I can pass into an argument for a template. One that will display a table if the argument's text would normally be in a visible location.
