Template talk:Degree

Incorrect substitutions
I was directed to post here by Anomie, user of the AnomieBOT. It should be noted that the bot recently performed a rather odd substitution in the article Skurfing (sport) § Water skurfing. The bot substituted "$$" with "180&amp;deg;". Why it chose to use 180&amp;deg; is not understood, and I couldn't find a reason for doing so in the template doc. As far as I can tell, the template is being used exactly as described, and the bot shouldn't have substituted it. I have temporarily reverted the bot's edit and added the nosubst=yes parameter to the template. Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 20:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I see you made a change to Template:Degree; what exactly that change does is beyond my knowledge. It would be nice if I understood it so I could have changed it myself. I see you also changed the usage on the Skurfing (sport) article; it looks clean now without the bot's weird substitution.
 * Thank you for fixing these. Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 23:21, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
