By compressing the text and removing some links I can usually make it work, but of course it would be nice to have the links. And I'm not sure what exactly causes this problem. Does anyone know any inherent limitations of the {{Article summary text}} template or other things i should be aware of? even if i check that the links are in wiki format and don't span multiple lines it doesn't work...

It seems the wiki does not like the ? in the git url... Looking at ways to work around that now. Alternatively maybe just link to projects.archlinux.org ?

Actually I was wrong, but close, its the "=". I did not expect to find a solution this fast, the Mediawiki documentation is better than I remembered.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Template#Restrictions_on_parameters_and_pa... :

Unnamed parameters cannot be assigned a value containing an equals sign (=); the parser will treat the equals sign as the assignment of a named parameter.

The page describes several workarounds, I think the most sensible is prepending the parameter with "1=" , ie replace " {{Article summary text| " with " {{Article summary text| 1=" .
