Does anyone know anything about this bug? Hgrosser (talk) 03:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

It does seem to be a bug. See mw:Extension:Cite/Cite.php#Templates. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

I am requesting that this page be moved to Wikipedia:Substitution because substitution does not only apply to templates. -- IRP ☎ 20:11, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, can you elaborate? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Substitution applies to all pages except for mainspace pages, just like transclusion does. If this page is not moved, then it is incorrect and inconsistent with Wikipedia:Transclusion. -- IRP ☎ 21:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Makes sense I suppose. Shall I be bold? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:31, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

It's up to you whether you should be bold or not. I would say that there would be no harm in being bold. -- IRP ☎ 21:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Substitution and REVISIONUSER

Pointer towards WP:Bot owners' noticeboard#Substitution and REVISIONUSER, concerning substitution of certain templates by bots. Amalthea 17:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Templates or Pages

In cleaning up the intro, I noticed a lack of clarity regarding the target of substitution. Is it just templates that can be substituted, or can any page be substituted? It's clear the guideline's focus is on templates, but just for precision, it'd be good to make the intro fit. 69.142.154.10 (talk) 08:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Well yes, any page can be substituted OR transcluded. But usually there's no point in substituting any page other than a template. -- œ^™ 09:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Help:Substitution offers: '"Substitution is the replacement of a piece of wikicode with its value on saving the page. In particular: a template call is replaced by the template content (with substitution of any parameters); a variable is replaced with its value; a parser function is evaluated." So, for probably 99+% of practical purposes it's all templates. Ocaasi (talk) 12:02, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Reflist

Just out of interest, what would happen if you subsituted a {{reflist}}? Rcsprinter (talk) 08:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I guess you'd just get some expanded text appearing in the wikitext, that has the same effect as a {{reflist}}. (But if you want to know for sure, try it and see.)--Kotniski (talk) 14:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I tried it in my sandbox, and that's just what happened. Rcsprinter (talk) 19:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Reflist is just a wrapper around <references />, which is special-cased by MediaWiki. Parsing of the current footnotes system is always done at runtime. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 21:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Full substitution

When I use {{subst:</nowiki<[[Template:Infobox|Infbox]]<nowiki> | name = Name | title = Title | image = [[File:example.png|thumb]] | caption = Caption | header1 = Header 1 | label2 = Label 2 | data2 =

the template that was {{fullsubst:}}-ed change and so you can easily copy and paste the source code onto another wiki?
