notdone?

N Not done "Request not completed."

Under what circumstances would this be used? Surely in most if not all cases, one of the statuses that is more specific should be used instead. — Smjg (talk) 20:16, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably when a request wasn't done for some more specific status doesn't exist. For example, there's currently no status for "consensus is that this should not actually be done". Anomie ⚔ 21:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Canned-response templates are generally substituted, with the exception of templates for venues that don't have a permanent archive (RfPP, AIV). WP:BOTREQ is archived, so its template should be substituted for consistency reasons. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:37, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Make subst-only per nom --DannyS712 (talk) 03:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've advertised this at Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Bot requests. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't typically make templates with files in them subst-only. --Izno (talk) 04:02, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: Yes we do: Template:HD's subtemplates, and Template:ESp and its ilk are all subst-only despite containing files. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 04:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a specific problem that would be fixed by making this subst only? It seems like a net-negative IMO. Legoktm (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems in line with all the other reply and message templates to keep archive history consistent. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:58, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
