--- Comment #19 from Quim Gil <q...@wikimedia.org> ---
Trying to summarize with an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Land_Cruiser#BJ_and_FJ

Edit source

* In edit view, there are no templates listed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toyota_Land_Cruiser&action=edit&section=2

* After clicking preview, "Templates used in this preview:" are shown.

So it seems that we are in the same point where we were almost 10 years ago.

At the time Brion said:

This is probably true still today, and this is perhaps why there hasn't been
any change. The use case for this seems to be quite marginal, and the
alternative relatively simple: click Preview.

Proposing a Wontfix.
