Forum:Createbox broken after update

Hello!

sryth.wikia.com has experienced a number of small problems lately, I assumed related to our upgrade to the newer version of MediaWiki. One of those problems is our preloads, which have stopped working. This is the code as written:

default=Item:  editintro=Template:ItemEditintro preload=Template:ItemPreload width=24

default=Quest: editintro=Template:QuestEditintro preload=Template:QuestPreload width=24

ItemEditintro and QuestEditintro load okay, but ItemPreload and QuestPreload do not. Instead, I get a plain Itembox or Questbox as appropriate for the namespace. They were fine a couple of weeks ago. Help?

 * Honestly, I'm not sure &mdash; the central adoption requests seem to be all fine using the preload method -- Sam Wang 01:31, July 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmm, what's broken? They seem to working fine on the wiki for me. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  14:03, July 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I figured out the problem. Because the preload pages included tags, it's interpreting that as applying to the CreateBox import as well as to transclusion.  Except we want the WHOLE page for the preload.  Anybody know how to fix this without making things complicated for the less wiki-familiar? Psychoadept (talk) 14:45, July 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe this was changed in one of the recent MediaWiki versions so that preloader pages could be properly categorized/documented without adding the text to the pages where it's loaded. Either way the  tags should be stripped once preloaded, so you can try:   (and the same for the closing tag). Looks a bit weird maybe, but it should work. - Tjcool007 (Talk) 17:18, July 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * That worked, thank you! Psychoadept (talk) 17:51, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
