Template talk:Interwiki template

This template is broken
When this is used, this template is self-transcluding the template it is used on, inside a div with style="display:none" - I use this technique myself to ensure that some templates don't get listed on special:unusedtemplates (like template:delete)

However, interwiki templates do not respect the noinclude tag, so every time the template is used, it is also transcluding in the contents of the template in a hidden div.

I only noticed because ?useskin=wikiamobile apparently doesn't respect "display:none".

A better solution in this case will be to either transclude the template on the template's talk page, or maintain a list of interwiki templates on separate page, like Category:Interwiki templates - although since Special:UnusedTemplates doesn't look like it gets much attention anyway, it doesn't seem like it really matters.

In any case, this template should be updated to remove the transclusion. -452 18:44, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just an FYI, the display:none 'bug' in the mobile skin is ticketed. Rappy 19:28, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I read elsewhere that noinclude not working with interwiki transclusion was a bug that had already been reported - do you know if there there is any progress on that? (As if it were fixed, it would make the template work as intended) -452 19:48, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
