Template:Require subst

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is a metatemplate. It is used to build other templates and should not be used standalone, except for testing or simple usage.

English Wikipedia has an article on:

Template:Require subst

This is a metatemplate that can be wrapped around a template that requires substitution. It should always be safe-substituted (e.g. {{safesubst:require subst}}).

<includeonly>{{safesubst:require subst|template= [Name of template] |1=</includeonly>
… (normal template code) …
<includeonly>}}</includeonly>

If a substituted template is transcluded instead of substituted, an error message is displayed. For example:

This template must be substituted. Replace {{template name …}} with {{subst:template name …}}.
