Full substitution
When I use, it comes out as  }} , but why not have full substitution , making it come out as  }}

so it doesn't change at all even if the templates used by the template that was -ed change and so you can easily copy and paste the source code onto another wiki? (by the way, I showed an example of using it on another wiki at mw:Project:Sandbox) -- X 6  8  6  12:05, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * It would indeed be nice to have a variant of subst: that was automatically fully recursive, but it seems we don't. However we do have Special:ExpandTemplates, which kind of allows you to do the same sort of thing, though with copying and pasting.--Kotniski (talk) 17:43, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

I just wrapped this in collapse templates to make the page semi-readable. Legoktm (talk) 07:33, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
