Fix template inserting
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I see that when I'm editing a page and I want to add a template it doesn't autocomplete the list of templates. However, if I type the name of the template correctly and press on "insert" the template works like a charm

@tomaluca me and @davidev made some tries to see what's going on. It seems that when you're trying to insert a string on the input field there is a query calling templatedata (an extension that provides metadata for visualedtior about templates: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData)

We found that using TemplateData template are loaded and autocompleted correctly. Should we integrate this extension?

What's the file name which calls the input widget for the template ?

I don't know exactly which file is it. Why are you asking?

Would have clarified what extension it looks.. but from the above thread , I think it's clear..

I think yes, and this could be very interesting for other features too!
