--- Comment #6 from Conrad Irwin <conrad.ir...@gmail.com> 2010-01-29 22:37:01 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=7050) --> (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=7050) A "for interest" patch implementing {{subst}} This is an alternative solution, instead of having subst: and safesubst:, we have subst: and {{subst}}. {{subst}} is a magic word that is automatically substituted (i.e. {{subst:subst}} == {{subst}}) and which returns "subst:" during the PST and "" thereafter. The `problem` with this is that it feels too "magic"; I don't expect things to substitute themselves unless they are prefixed by subst: (obviously if the patch were changed to require {{subst:subst}} to be used intstead of {{subst}}, the "magic" happens in the other direction). - maybe this isn't so much of a problem? <includeonly>{{{{subst}}#if:{{subst}}||Please substitute this template}}</includeonly> may be clearer than <includeonly>{{safesubst:#if:{{subst:ns:0}}||Please substitute this template}} </includeonly> In the examples above, "safesubst:" may be replaced directly by "{{subst}}" and preserve the intended meaning; however I feel sticking to an alternative prefix is more consistent.
