 I started using it in my templates, and I suddenly notice strange behavior: one
 of my templates renders as the *rest* of the template page when used, instead of
 the body part. In other words, it renders exactly the part it should hide (the

 When I manually re-generate the wiki, it suddenly renders right. As soon as the
 page gets rebuilt automatically after some git push, it renders the wrong way.

 [[This|http://www.rel4tion.org/languages/haskell/]] is the page, and
 [[this|http://www.rel4tion.org/templates/wikitag/]] is a template it uses. Right
 now the template is rendered on that page exactly like the template page itself.
