GitHub wiki pages support wiki markup syntax, and when using curly braces (which, in MediaWiki, loads the contents of another page; e.g., {{Pagename}} would transclude page "Template:Pagename") they aren't shown in the output page, but instead only output whitespace. Are wiki templates supported in GitHub wikis, do curly braces perform some other function, or do curly braces only output whitespace just to have compatability with MediaWiki?

GitHub uses Markdown, which does not support templates. You can view the Markdown documentation here.

So GitHub wikis only support the markup aspects of MediaWiki, not anything complex? – Nixinova Jun 27 '20 at 01:14
