template text removed from sections

I am not sure if this is a bug or an unavoidable effect from templates.
For wikipedia entry December_30 there is a line item in the event section:

  • 2006 – The Indonesian passenger ferry {{MV|Senopati Nusantara}} sinks in a storm, resulting in at least 400 deaths.

In Section.js the constructor calls parseTemplates() which appears to remove the {{...}} and so the name of the ferry is lost and the results become: The Indonesian passenger ferry sinks in a storm, resulting in at least 400 deaths.

I am wondering if it is possible to have the text "Senopati Nusantara" retained?

hey rich - good find. Looks like we've missed a few ship templates
I'll add these to the next release, but in the meantime, you can do this:

wtf.extend((models, templates) => {
  templates.mv = 0 // support this new template
})
