It differs from <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Transclusion">transclusion</a>, which continually updates as the linked-to content changes.</td></tr></tbody></table> <p><b>Substitution</b> is a different way of handling <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates" title="Wikipedia:Templates">templates</a> than normally done on Wikipedia. Usually, templates are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Transclusion">transcluded</a>, which means that if the template changes, every page that uses it will update to comply with the change-in-question. This is the procedure used for most templates. However, some templates are instead substituted. This means that if the template changes, the page that uses it will not, and will continue to show the old version of the template. Some templates should always be substituted, while most should always be transcluded. </p><p>To substitute, add <code>subst:</code> after the opening braces, as in <code>{{subst:page name}}</code>. For example: <i>substitution</i> <code>{{subst:Medicine}}</code> in contrast to <i>transclusion</i> <code>{{Medicine}}</code>. The contents of <a href="/wiki/Template:Medicine" title="Template:Medicine">Template:Medicine</a> will be expanded (for any templates) and stored at each point where "{{subst:Medicine}}" is placed in a page. Note that ref tags refuse to run "subst:" unless temporarily renamed as "<code><xref name=xx></code>" or similar (see the bug report at <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T4700" class="extiw" title="phabricator:T4700">T4700</a>). </p><p>This page also lists templates that should either always or never be substituted except in the Wikipedia namespace. Automated tools (a.k.a. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bots" title="Wikipedia:Bots">bots</a>) that do such replacements will <em>never</em> be used on the original template. If you are going to use a bot to substitute templates, please read through <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Substitution" title="Wikipedia talk:Substitution">the talk page</a> first, as many are under dispute or change status over time, and substitution is permanent. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="About_subst:" data-mw-thread-id="h-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-About_subst:"></span>About subst:<span data-mw-comment-end="h-About_subst:"></span></h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Definition" data-mw-thread-id="h-Definition-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Definition-About_subst:"></span>Definition<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Definition-About_subst:"></span></h3></div> <p>The <b><code>subst:</code></b> keyword (short for "substitution") is used inside <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Template messages">template code</a>, placed as a prefix before the name of the template but within the curly braces (<code>{{}}</code>). It changes the way the MediaWiki software expands the template. </p><p>Ordinarily, a template will be expanded "on the fly"; that is, the template code on a page calls a separate page every time it is rendered. Although most page views are served from the cache, pages need to be rendered for previews and rendered again when the page changes. When someone is editing a page with a normal template call, they see the template call. </p><p>Placing "subst:" inside the curly braces tells the software to <em>permanently</em> replace the template with the text of the template (i.e., the text that is on the template's article page <em>when the template is added to the page</em>). Therefore, {{template}} becomes {{subst:template}}, until you save the page. The next editor sees not the template call, but instead the text of the template when you saved; it does not change even if the original template is edited. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Usage" data-mw-thread-id="h-Usage-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Usage-About_subst:"></span>Usage<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Usage-About_subst:"></span></h3></div> <p>You can substitute a template tag by adding "subst:" to it. For example, use {{subst:test5}} instead of {{test5}}. </p><p>When this is a major component of an edit, it is strongly suggested that the template be mentioned in the <a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" title="Help:Edit summary">edit summary</a> (for instance, put "{{subst:test}}", "subst:test" or "test1 applied" in your edit summary) so other editors can easily see what you have done. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Hidden_comment"></span>Additionally, when creating or editing templates that are commonly substituted, adding a hidden comment to the template page helps article editors to see how templates are being used (e.g. <code></code>). Use {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Html_comment" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Html comment">subst:html comment</a>}} if you want to write HTML comments that contain wikitext expansions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Benefits" data-mw-thread-id="h-Benefits-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Benefits-About_subst:"></span>Benefits<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Benefits-About_subst:"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>If there is a template you would like to modify for a single occasion, but you do not want to modify the template for all the pages that use it, and you do not want to make a new template, you can substitute the template and then with a second edit, make the modifications. For example, a template might be used with all the states of the United States and with the District of Columbia. The template might be worded correctly for the states, but not for DC. To fix the wording, you can substitute the template and then fix the wording.</li> <li>Substituting frequently used, but unprotected templates, limits the damage that can be caused by people <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism">vandalizing</a> the template. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:High-risk_templates" title="Wikipedia:High-risk templates">high-risk templates</a>.</li> <li>Transcluding certain templates hides wikitext from newcomers, whereas substituting makes the wikitext visible and gives them the opportunity to learn its use (of course, there is a "how to edit" link at the bottom of each edit page).</li> <li>Substitution allows for recursive evaluation through macro templates.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Neutral" data-mw-thread-id="h-Neutral-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Neutral-About_subst:"></span>Neutral<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Neutral-About_subst:"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>Substituting <i>en masse</i> <strong>may</strong> ultimately speed up the site, but this is not a reason to prefer substitution over transclusion. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_worry_about_performance" title="Wikipedia:Don't worry about performance">Don't worry about performance</a> of Wikipedia's servers.</li> <li>Templates are often modified or deleted. If a template is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Glossary#Boilerplate_text" title="Wikipedia:Glossary">boilerplate text</a>, consider whether you want it to vary as the template is modified. If your answer is "no", substitution is warranted. An example of this is the {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Welcome" title="Template:Welcome">subst:welcome</a>}} template. The archives of a user's talk page should show the actual welcome message they received, not the current welcome message.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Drawbacks" data-mw-thread-id="h-Drawbacks-About_subst:"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Drawbacks-About_subst:"></span>Drawbacks<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Drawbacks-About_subst:"></span></h3></div> <ul><li>Once a template is substituted, the result is no longer linked to the template, making it hard to find all pages displaying that text (though categories can sometimes relieve this). The problem can easily be worked around by including a link to the template in the template's code.</li> <li>A substituted template will not be updated when errors in the master template are corrected.</li> <li>If the template is used to standardize the appearance of something, you probably do not want to do a substitution. An example of this is a table of contents or navigation box.</li> <li>Substituting <i>en masse</i>—editing thousands of articles with bots—temporarily slows down the site and wastes server resources unnecessarily.</li> <li>Substitution increases the size of articles in the database and database dumps.</li> <li>A substituted template can add a lot of wiki-code or HTML to the article, harming accessibility for the less technically inclined.</li> <li>Substituting templates prevents newcomers from learning to use templates, and prevents users from finding their documentation.</li> <li>If the template is just being used temporarily, it is usually better not to substitute. Substituted templates are much harder to remove or modify.</li> <li>When a vandalised template is substituted, it is more difficult to repair than regular vandalism because of the lack of links between the template and its incarnations and the lack of updatability.</li> <li>Some meta-templates, such as <a href="/wiki/Template:!" title="Template:!">{{!}}</a> and <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:((" title="Template:((">((</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>, do not work if they are substituted.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Templates_that_should_always_be_substituted" data-mw-thread-id="h-Templates_that_should_always_be_substituted"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Templates_that_should_always_be_substituted"></span>Templates that should <em>always</em> be substituted<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Templates_that_should_always_be_substituted"></span></h2></div> <p>This is a list of templates that should always be substituted, organized by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Namespace" title="Wikipedia:Namespace">namespace</a>.
