English Wikipedia has articles on:

Template:Always substitute

Template:Never substitute

Template:May be substituted

This template is used to indicate that a template can be substituted. This template itself, however, should never be substituted.

{{substitute}} should be placed on the documentation subpage of any template that can be used with substitution rather than transclusion (i.e. not on the template's own page itself).

Templates that should always be substituted are automatically added to Category:Substituted templates.

{{{1}}} (required): Set this to always if the template should always be substituted or no if the template should not be substituted. Leave it blank if the template can be either substituted or transcluded.

Equivalent to Wikipedia's Template:May be substituted. This is the default option, indicating that a template works either way.
