+the [[plugins/aggregate]] plugin mashes the `title` of an aggregated post into a filename. This results in long filenames. I have hit a filesystem length limitation on several occasions. Some (ab)uses of RSS, e.g., twitter,
+generate long titles. Especially once you throw escaping into the mix:

+
+The lines which feature creation_year(<TMPL_VAR year>) are most likely the culprits. That would explain why the error was repeated twice, and would tally with the file in `templates/` being rendered, rather than the inclusionists.
+
+A workaround is to move the template outside of the srcdir into the external templates directory and include the file suffix when using it, e.g.
+
+ \[[!template id=all_entry.tmpl year=2010 current=true]]
+
+I believed (until I tested) that the [[ikiwiki/directive/if]] directive, with the `included()` test, would be an option here, E.g.
+
+ \[[!if test="included()" then="""
+ ...template...
+ """ else="""
+ Nothing to see here.

+
+However this doesn't work. I assume "included" in this context means e.g. via an `inline` or `map`, not template trans-clusion. -- [[Jon]]

+ikiwiki verison: 3.20100815.2
+
+If I instruct editemplate to only match the top level pages in a directory using
+
+ match="foo/* and !foo/*/* and !foo/*/*/*"
+
+everything works as expected for pages created via links on other wiki pages. So, if I open foo/bar (or any other page on the wiki) and create a link to foo/bar/bug, edittemplate appropriately does not insert any text into the new page.
+
+However, if I use an inline directive like the following
+
+ !inline pages="page(foo/bar/*)" rootpage="foo/bar" postform=yes actions=yes
+
+every page created via the action buttons incorrectly pulls in the text from the edittemplate registration. Changing the order of the conditions in the match="" pagespec has no impact.
