noinclude doesn't work

According to the documentation, I should be able to reference a template
by doing this:

<noinclude>

{{NameOfTemplate}}

</noinclude>

But Mediawiki is transcluding the template into the page and I don't
want it there. I just want developers to be able to click the template
and grab the template text when they're creating a new article.

Is there a setting in LocalSettings.php that I need to make to get
<noinclude> to work? Someone else here installed the software, so I
haven't worked with that file, yet.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Maffy

Re: noinclude doesn't work [In reply to]

Do you just want to produce a link to the template? Then use:

[[Template:NameOfTemplate]]

The <noinclude> tag does not prevent templates inside it from evaluating. It marks a region of the article that should not be transcluded into OTHER articles.

A quick example. You have a template T and article A. In template T, you write:

Hello <noinclude>world</noinclude>

When you render Template:T by itself, you see "Hello world"

In article A you write:

{{T}}

When article A is rendered, you see only "Hello". Because you told template T not to permit "world" to be transcluded into other articles.

That's not how noinclude tags work. You'd place noinclude tags on the
source article to prevent it from being included in any transclusion of
that source.

From your description of what you're looking for, I'm pretty sure what
you're looking for is [[Template:NameOfTemplate]].

Doh! That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I misunderstood the
<noinclude> purpose.
Thank you so very much!!
