Template talk:Stationyears

Why substitute?
Why do you recommend this template be substituted rather than just used directly? I can't see any advantage in substitution. In fact there's one big disadvantage: it generates code such as

,

which, although valid code, is just plain confusing to other editors who look at the article later. --Dr Greg (talk) 13:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * eeks! I thought I had that working where subst wouldn't include the #if part.  The theory was that substing the template would leave the article with just the categories and none of the code.  I guess at this point, it probably is better not to subst it.  Slambo (Speak)  14:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
