Description

I've used the "Preview page with this template" many times and wondered why my changes weren't being applied, only to realize e.g. I was editing the sandbox and the page was using the live version.

If the specified page does not transclude the template, the server should return an error instead of the unaltered version of the page. Similarly, the autocomplete feature of the textbox should only suggest pages that transclude the template.
