Usage

{{Nosubst}}

(Much like the template itself, this particular template should not be substituted! I hope this isn't too confusing...)

This template should be placed on the documentation subpage (not the template page itself) of any template that should not be substituted (and transcluded instead).

Parameters
  • This template accepts one optional parameter, which can be used to give a more detailed description of why the template in question should not be substituted. For example, {{Nosubst|Example text.}} produces:
