Description Alan Barrett 2004-09-22 21:42:26 UTC
Constructs like {{/Subpage}} behave like {{Template:/Subpage}}, whereas they should  
act like {{{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/Subpage}}, by analogy with the behaviour of 
[[/Subpage]].

This sort of thing would be useful on [[en:Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]], where there 
are a lot of sub pages referenced via {{Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Subpage}}.
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2004-09-22 21:48:00 UTC
[[foobar]] default to article namespace where as
{{foobar}} default to template namespace.

It's indeed working as intended. You should use something like {{:/subpage}}
Comment 2 River Tarnell 2004-09-22 21:52:33 UTC
{{:/Subpage}} doesn't work either.
Comment 3 Wil Mahan 2004-09-22 22:06:55 UTC
The template inclusion code simply doesn't check for subpages. It would be
possible to fix this, but there is an easy workaround: just use the full page
name {{Page/Subpage}}. So I think this should be a lower priority than bug fixes
at the moment. 
Comment 4 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2004-09-22 22:11:56 UTC
Maybe we can get the code that manage subpages from replaceinternallink()
and put it in its own function. This way we can call it for both [[ and
{{ .
Comment 5 Ilyanep 2004-09-25 19:03:03 UTC
Actually...I don't think there is a way to reference the main namespace in a
themplate syntax
Comment 6 Wil Mahan 2004-09-25 20:38:35 UTC
Fixed in HEAD. It is already possible to reference the main namespace with {{:foo}}.
Comment 7 Brion Vibber 2004-12-11 23:41:16 UTC
1.4 release imminent, resolving as fixed.
