Template inside Infobox personal template
Fragment of a discussion from Template talk:User Researcher
Rob, it's probably something with the table syntax getting confused with the template syntax, eh?
BrentSimpson (talk)
It think the parsing of templates inside templates is pretty complex especially if they are both tables. It looks like wrapping the table in a div works for the problem cases mentioned above and it solves the problems we have been having since the upgrade. Not sure what other problems it will cause in the future ...
