Thread:Project:Support desk/What does "raw:" do?/reply

I just asked on IRC and bawolff and Matma Rex clued me in. Here is a mashed-together transcript of what they said:


 * shows the wikitext of page you're transcluding as if you wrapped the page being transcluded in &lt;nowiki/&lt; If you have scary interwiki transclude, it causes the wikitext to be transcluded from the foreign wiki, and interpreted as if it was parsed locally, as opposed to default behaviour of just transcluding the html (action=render) output.

In the example you linked to, it looks like this functionality is being used to tag pages with a raw link in their text into the Category "head with raw link".
