Created attachment 12938 [details] Wikitext appearing in transclusion dialog The underlying cause of this might be covered in bug 48231 or bug 51217 or others ... I thought I saw a bug about this, but cant find it now. [[template:multicol]] with wikisyntax inside it results in the attached screenshot, with wikitext visible in the transclusion dialog as 'Content' blocks. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:John_Vandenberg/test?veaction=edit Section headers & list items also cause this; see the last block here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:John_Vandenberg/test&oldid=565567699&veaction=edit If it helps, this issue is present on one of the parsoid topfails: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eerste_divisie_1996/97?veaction=edit BeginKolommen occurs on nlwp 3047 times. 11362 times in enwp. 8861 times in eswp. 40985 times on itwp!, which is roughly 4% of the content pages. Confirmed this is happening on every itwp invocation that I edit https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciale:PuntanoQui/Template:Colonne e.g. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroplano?veaction=edit
Editing the wikitext appears to function correctly, which is good news. https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matematica&diff=60342095&oldid=59678552
{{BeginKolommen}} generates the beginning of a table, and {{EindeKolommen}} generates the end of that table. All content between those two is treated as one template call. This is expected behavior in the current implementation, and is exactly the same as succession boxes and all other templates that generate openings and closings separately (multipart templates). It would be nice if we could let users edit these in a nicer way, especially considering that some (but not all) of the wikitext blocks are actually innocuous wikitext that VE could reasonably edit, but right now we can't. This is part of the reason why multipart templates suck. What is the Parsoid topfail thing you're talking about? There's no link to the failure and it seems unrelated to this issue. Not closing this as INVALID or whatever because this is something we should actually handle better.
I think it is impressive that VE handles it 'nl:Eerste divisie 1996/97' is on the parsoid topfails list http://parsoid.wmflabs.org:8001/topfails Here is an itwp example where multicol consumes most of the page, and should probably be removed. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campagna_%28comune%29?veaction=edit

I just fixed that page.

It's not any more now :( It is on page two of 16 http://parsoid.wmflabs.org:8001/topfails/2 I have no idea if the {{BeginKolommen}} or tables within it have anything to do with the semantic failure; just thought I should mention it.

That doesn't appear to be the case: looking at the RT diff (which you get to by clicking on the page name), it's mostly related to the tables on the page: http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/_rt/nl/Eerste_divisie_1996/97
