Maintenance templates, such as {{tl|Citation needed}} or {{tl|Refimprove}}, should never be substituted. A trick to avoid that is to make a template substitute to its transcluded form. This module implements that trick.

Helper module to facilitate a substituted template transform into a template transclusion.

Maintenance templates, such as {{tl|Citation needed}} or {{tl|Refimprove}}, should never be substituted. A trick to avoid that is to make a template substitute to its transcluded form.

Infoboxes should use [[Module:Unsubst-infobox]], as should any other templates with parameters listed in block format by default.

=== Usage ===

To turn a template into a self-substituting template, wrap the existing template code with:

<pre>

{{SAFESUBSTsafesubst:<noinclude />#invoke: Unsubst||$B=

[ ... existing template code ... ]

Line 27 ⟶ 25:

<pre>

{{SAFESUBSTsafesubst:<noinclude />#invoke: Unsubst||$params=[ parameters ]|$aliases=[ aliases ]|$flags=[ flags ]|$B=

[ ... existing template code ... ]

Line 41 ⟶ 39:

These parameters can be manipulated using parser functions to provide more complicated options (note that in the parameters any parser function, or template or module invocation, should also have <code><nowiki>SAFESUBST:<noinclude /></nowiki></code>).

Parameter {{para|$template-name}} will override the subst'd template's name with the template name assigned to this parameter.

=== Example ===

Consider a template Template:Example containing the following code:

<pre>

{{SAFESUBSTsafesubst:<noinclude />#invoke: Unsubst||foo=bar |date=__DATE__ |$B=

[ ... Template code goes here ... ]
