This template should not be speedily deleted because it is not, as alleged, a recreation of the deleted template; rather a shortcut to Subst: the verbose one created by consensus, as a result of the TfD discussion (as a simple inspection of the new template's mark-up would show) Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:25, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
I would have expected {{HighBeam|1P3-2131107461}} (currently rendered – via
