Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): Python
Source code available: PyWikipedia + custom code
Function overview: Substituting templates that should only be used substituted

Edit period(s): Continuous
Estimated number of pages affected:
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: I have recently noticed that we have many instances of templates that should be substituted, such as unsigned templates (see recently approved BRFA for (even more recently) retired user). I've been running a similar task on Wikimedia Commons for some time now, and was recently approved on Wikidata to do the same. The bot gets a list of templates that should only be used substituted, then checks for transclusions and attempts to substitute them if possible. Hazard-SJ ✈ 03:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC) reply
Note AnomieBOT will already do this if the templates are appropriately marked, see User:AnomieBOT/docs/TemplateSubster. As for the unsigned templates, it was discussed at one point having AnomieBOT subst these but it wasn't followed through at the time, see Wikipedia talk:Signatures/Archive 8#Unsigned comment templates.
