Live Preview does not show the "Templates used in this preview" when section-editing
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Without Live Preview:

With Live Preview, I don't get that list of templates/transclusions in the section-editing scenario.

The problem appears to be on line 207:

$editform.find( '.templatesUsed .mw-editfooter-list' ).detach().empty().append( newList ).appendTo( '.templatesUsed' );

This is assuming that $editform.find( '.templatesUsed .mw-editfooter-list' ) exists. But that's correct only while editing the whole page. While editing a section, .templatesUsed exists but is an empty div.

The code from non-live preview that constructs the div is at TemplatesOnThisPageFormatter.php which looks like lot to port to JavaScript.
