Hallo! If you follow how http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Bugzilla_2409_comment_2 was created wou may see that "Templates used on this page:" 1. "used" means both "refered" and included / transcluded 2. " used" apears only of you "edit" / "preview" an existing page and not if the page is just "created from scratch" 3. " used" seems to be "Templates used when the page was created" update is slow if there is any update 4. I stopped creating the templates "missing" at the time the page was created. 5. I did not test what happens if the page is deleded and if all or only some revisions are restored 6. "Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Bugzilla 2409 comment 2 – trough simple redirect" lists this page despite the fact that it is neither refered in this revision nor in revision 7563 7. I did not test "nesting" templates as {{foo{{{bar}}}|foobar}} where the included template names are known only at higher levels. 8. I did not test "infinite recursion", neither direct or caused by some types of nested templates Bug dependencies are unclear to me. bug 1065: Inclusions should not be stored in the generic 'links' table duplicate bug 2409#c2 Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
The reason both links to templates and template inclusions show up is because there is no way to tell them apart with the current system. They're both links to pages in namespace 10. This is Bug 1065. Inclusions are stored in the links table, and the links table is updated whenever the page is saved. This is partially the bug that deals with template changes not cascading to transcluding pages (because only the template's links table entries are updated) and partially the fact that the list of templates is taken from the links table (which is no updated by previewing) and not the recently parsed page. "This is how it is" and "This is how it should be" statements would be useful in clarifying exactly what you consider the problem behaviour.
in response to comment 1: I would experience the following behavior: a) "Templates used on this *page*:" is used on this *revision of this page* this would mean that you add templates to "Templates used on this *revision of this page*:" if templates are added then they *should* be added the list if templates are *remove* then they *should* be removed from the list I do not know what happens if templates are available only in a deleted revision but never shows later. I have no clue *why* http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Talk:Bugzilla_2409_comment_2&action=edit&oldid=7569 shows *only one* template. The *first* revision of this page did contain a lot. Maybe the link table wa droped / cleared. Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Several fixes have been applied to the "templates used on this page" box since this report was filed, and it wasn't all that clear which specific cases were problematic. If any still remain, please open clear and specific bugs against them.
