How to resolve a detected template loop in MediaWiki

Question

I recently installed MediaWiki version 1.22on my local machine. I added a few pages of templates, when I try to use them, it displays

Template loop detected:

I also deleted some old pages using the admin login, but still it showed the same problem.

Answer 1

Pattern templates occur when two patterns translate each other, for example

Template: Foo contains {{bar}}

while template: Bar contains {{foo}}

This can also happen through intermediate patterns, for example. foo transcludes bar, which translates baz, which translates foo.
