{{re|andrybak|Sophivorus}} transclusions should not include [[Template:sfnmp]].

{{edit extended-protected|Module:Excerpt/portals|answered=yes}}
Update the regex to take into account <code><nowiki>{{Efn </nowiki>''[language] ''name<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> to take care of these cases: [[en:Category:Explanatory footnote name templates|Category:Explanatory footnote name templates]] which are currently being ignored.

(Which caused error described [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_talk:Excerpt#Possible_bug? here]). Thanks. [[User:Satricious|Satricious]] ([[User talk:Satricious|talk]]) 01:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

== Handling formatting tags ==

I've been trying to clear some of the few GIGO-esque errors left within Excerpt/portals, however I'm a little stumped on this last one. There are 2 articles (maybe more, but these are the ones I know) causing issues here, [[Cumbre Vieja tsunami hazard]] and [[National Treasure (Japan)]]. Basically, before the lead, they have some sort of html tag by itself on a line. Unfortunately, the parsing code thinks said html tags are actually the start of the lead, and starts to grab them as if they're paragraphs. I have a test page [[Special:Permalink/1135294481|here]] displaying the issues that happen when it does so. I've tried fitting some code in [[Module:Excerpt/portals/sandbox#L-532|around here]] that would try see if the line matched something like <code>^%b<>%s*$</code>, but I could only get the mapframe case to somewhat fix, and the div one had no luck (I have tried without the tags as a test to make sure its not the wikitables and it works fine then). Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [[User:Aidan9382|Aidan9382]] <sub>([[User talk:Aidan9382|talk]])</sub> 20:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

:I suppose it needs to match and discard &lt;foo...> ... &lt;/foo>, carefully skipping nested tags (including foo tags) within in the way %b does.  That sounds inefficient and potentially complicated by tags hidden in transcluded templates and other nonsense such as &lt;foo> Discard this &lt;!-- This isn't a &lt;/foo> tag --> Discard this too &lt;/foo>.

== Template:As of ==

As noted at [[Portal talk:Linux#Embedded article text fails]], this module removes the text generated by {{tl|As of}}, leading to garbled text in the portal excerpt. [[Template:As of?]] is an inline tag to be removed, [[Template:As of]] generates text that should not be removed. I'm not sure of the LUA expression syntax, so I'm not comfortable trying to fix this myself. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 14:42, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

== Transclude selected excerpt can't use |list and |showall? ==
{{Edit extended-protected|Module:Excerpt/portals|answered=yes}}
{{tl|Transclude selected excerpt}} for some reason is not allowed to use {{para|list}} and {{para|showall}} params. But using them is no different from {{tl|Transclude random excerpt}} case where they are allowed. I think they should be allowed for "selected" template as well?
