Template:Always substitute
(Redirected from Template:Substitute only)
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Always substitute}}). |
| This template should not be substituted. |
 | This template is used on approximately 9,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
{{Always substitute}} produces the following notice:
| This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:foo}}). |
(but {{Always substitute}} itself should not be substituted.)
Usage
{{Always substitute}}
{{Always substitute}} should be placed on the documentation subpage of any template that requires substitution rather than transclusion (i.e. not on the template's own page itself).
Pages that include {{Always substitute}} are added to Category:Wikipedia substituted templates.
Parameters
|auto=- If set as "yes", the template to which the notice refers will be subst:ed automatically unless the
|demo=yesparameter is set. The notice is amended to state this. Default is "no". Setting this parameter to "yes" places the template in Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted; see User:AnomieBOT/docs/TemplateSubster for more information. |alt=- Use to set an alternate and transcludable name for the template.
|nocat=true- Suppress automatic categorization.
