Subject: templatesWithParams parser bug
Assigned to: xqt
Original description:
version.py info:
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r11308, 2013/03/30, 16:56:02, OUTDATED\)
Python 2.7.3 \(default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14\)
\[GCC 4.7.2\]
config-settings:
use\_api = True
use\_api\_login = True
unicode test: ok

Below is the code snippet that demonstrates the bug:

\#\!/usr/bin/python
\# -\*- coding: utf-8 -\*-
import wikipedia as pywikibot
site = pywikibot.getSite\(\)
page = pywikibot.Page\(site, "Template:001"\) \# or some other page, the page itself is irrelevant here
pageText = u"\{\{monster | \{\{\{1\}\}\} | id=001\}\}"
print\(page.templatesWithParams\(pageText\)\)

I found that the output is
\[\(u'1', \[\]\)\]

instead of expected value
\[\(u'Monster', \[u' \{\{\{1\}\}\}', u' id=001'\]\)\]

However, if I change pageText to

pageText = u"\{\{monster | abc | id=001\}\}"

Then the output would be
\[\(u'Monster', \[u' abc ', u' id=001'\]\)\]

Which is correct.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
