Topic on Extension talk:TitleKey

Steps to reproduce:

1. . Install Visual Editor REL1_30 + Parsoid
2. . Create a template like "DummyTemplate"
3. . Edit a page via Visual Editor and select "Insert" -> "Template"
4. . Type first symbol of tempalte name

Expected result: list of found templates is displayed Actual result: nothing is displayed

The reason is that apparently TitleKey is affecting results of "api.php?action=query&format=json&prop=info%7Cpageprops&generator=prefixsearch&gpssearch=P&gpsnamespace=10&gpslimit=10&ppprop=disambiguation&redirects=true" request which VE uses to find templates by name because each found page appears to be missing when TitleKey is enabled and works and intended when TitleKey is disabled.

Oops, indeed a fix for this will be cool. Keeping fingers crossed. I suggest to create a phabricator task for this. I doubt that anybody will have a peep here.

Is this fixed?

Also interested in having a fix for this!

No, this is still not fixed. I just submitted a bug report on it myself after discovering the hard way that it cripples the Template Wizard extension also and any extension that relies on API:Prefixsearch:

Came here to post this for anyone who might run across the very same frustrating issue and found a 2 year old thread about it. The extension should not cripple the API.

This may now be resolved. TemplateWizard and Titlekey now "play nice" together on 1.39 with search no longer broken. It seems template search in VisualEditor did not use the standard search API:
