Shouldn't the templates themselves be set up to automatically subst, when appropriate? By extending the server code if necessary, I mean. I also don't see why {{ unsigned}} needs substing, but that's not a matter for here. 50.0.121.79 ( talk) 04:07, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't get it. It's often desirable to use the template form so that later it's apparent the right character is present (given that minus, ndash, hyphen, and God-knows-what-else are so similar). E Eng 14:23, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Is AnomieBOT supposed to substitute "{{degree|180}}" with "{{formatnum:180}}°". This doesn't seem to match what's described on
Template:Degree. This substitution occurred today on the
Skurfing (sport) article. If this is correct, I should like it stated on the template page to avoid confusion.

{{
subst only|auto=yes}}
to its doc page. It does seem odd for the template when substed to be producing {{formatnum:}}
; that should probably be discussed on the template's talk page.

Please do not automatically expand highly used shortcut template names, like {{ ill}}, to ponderous full names (like {{ interlanguage link multi}}). The editor who placed the shorter version did it for a reason, and if they are to be expanded, that is something that should be via consensus, on the Talk page. Absent any valid reason for it, this is mindless fiddling that causes no change to the rendered article page, may be a violation of MOS:VAR, and in any case is not an improvement to the article.

In
this edit, TemplateSubster added |subst=subst:
. That parameter is not recognized by
Module:Citation/CS1 so that module emits an Unknown parameter error. Can the addition of that parameter be suppressed? Does it really need to be there? What does it actually accomplish?

Hi, the bot has made multiple edits like
this in which an extra, backwards bracket was added after |water-polo-importance=
. I've fixed all instances but wasn't sure if this was specific to a run of water polo-related articles, or if the error would continue in other runs of the bot. Thanks.—
