Cleanup

There are quite a few cases of failed substitution within references that need to be cleaned up, found with insource:/\{\{subst:/ -insource:"Anchor comment" -insource:"rfd". Letcord ( talk) 18:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I know I did. I don't expect my posts to start any discussion that would be fragmented, as they're just pointers to a set of articles needing cleanup. Letcord ( talk) 19:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I noticed a few hundred in the search hits with {{subst:rfd}}, but they're in a comment and as-intended, it appears. Dicklyon ( talk) 15:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I've narrowed the search to exclude those now. Letcord ( talk) 18:33, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply

This page needs more instruction.

There needs to be more instructions on what to do when you see :subst. I saw it on the Nominate for Adminship page and can't figure out how to use it. Oo-rah! the marines are here ( talk) 18:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC) reply

subst not working on title year range template

I raised this over at Template talk:Subst but no-one seems to be monitoring that page.

I've found that adding subst: works fine on templates such as {{ title year}} and {{ Title year+1}}, but just results in a blank when used on {{ title year range}}. Try it in 1983–84 New York Islanders season for example. Any explanation, or fix available? Colonies Chris ( talk) 13:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I'll start off by pointing out that only {{ subst:title year}} substs cleanly - {{ subst:title year+1}} emits {{#expr:{{title year}} +1}}. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 19:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Colonies Chris:  Fixed, with this edit.
You probably didn't get a reply at Template talk:Subst because it has very few watchers (12). It's also nothing to do with Template:Subst. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 20:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks, that's working fine now. Colonies Chris ( talk) 21:11, 11 January 2024 (UTC) reply
