Certain templates should always be substituted, although people sometimes forget. It's quite easy for a bot to go through these templates and subst them. AnomieBOT does this for all templates in Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted.
AnomieBOT simply goes through all templates listed in Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted, loads the list of transclusions for each, and edits each transcluding page to subst the templates. Specifically, it changes {{foo}}
to {{subst:foo|subst=subst:}}
(the parameter |subst=
set to "subst:" is a common workaround in templates that predate the introduction of safesubst:).
To allow for example usage, AnomieBOT will not subst template instances that have the parameters |nosubst=
or |demo=
. To prevent disruption, AnomieBOT will also not subst any template that has over 100 transclusions unless that template is linked from User:AnomieBOT/TemplateSubster force.
If the template should not be substituted automatically, edit it to remove it from Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted. If just the one instance should not be substed (e.g. uses as examples), add |nosubst=
or |demo=
to the template invocation. You might want to edit the template to recognize |demo=
anyway to avoid it adding inappropriate categories and the like.
If necessary, you can also post a message to User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/TemplateSubster to stop the bot and post a message to User talk:AnomieBOT to let Anomie know about the problem.
Try the following:
{{tlg|_show_result=y}}
) are not substed by the bot.|nosubst=
or |demo=
