This talk page is for discussing AnomieBOT's TFDTemplateSubster task and reporting problems with its usage. If reporting a problem with the substitution of a particular template, you should check the history of User:AnomieBOT/TFDTemplateSubster and ping the editor responsible for listing it.
This talk page is not for re-discussing whether a template should be orphaned/substituted/deleted. If you have complaints along those lines, Wikipedia:Deletion review is probably where you want to be.
User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/TFDTemplateSubster may be used if a run in progress needs to be immediately stopped.
Shouldn't this page be Template protected like User:AnomieBOT/TemplateSubster force, not fully protected? ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 16:15, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Not sure what's going on, ((Japanese name)) is showing "done" but there are still 2k transclusions. I know I should have checked them first, but I had to undelete 15 templates that said they were finished. Primefac (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
I have removed two entries for which there was no consensus. Anomie, will that stop continued processing? What is the best way to get edits reverted? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:32, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I think this was in error, and have reverted it; though it could perhaps be marked up with "nowiki" tags. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:25, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
I don't have a way to see the history of deleted templates, but it appears possible that ((Infobox Israel municipality)) used to contain a default value for |subdivision_type=Country
and |subdivision_name=
that have somehow been lost in substing it following its TFD. See this diff for an example substitution. The article Abu Ghosh, and many similar articles, are in Category:Pages using infobox settlement with missing country. Do you have a way of investigating this potential problem? – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:13, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
|subdivision_type=
. The original code was
| subdivision_type = ((#if:(({country|))} | [[List of sovereign states|Country]]))
|country=
existed. Primefac (talk) 21:44, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
|subdivision_name=
? Thanks for the response. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
|country=
existed. Primefac (talk) 22:38, 17 November 2020 (UTC)The bot forgot to add |type=long when replacing long wikibreak with wikibreak. See for instance [1] CapnZapp (talk) 16:29, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
There's nothing AnomieBOT can do about it now, over a year after the bot ran. And this was never AnomieBOT's fault in the first place, but instead the fault of whoever coded the template to be substable and then added it to the autosubst list. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:17, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Anomie Does this task add |subst=subst: before substituting like the normal substitution task or not? If not could it do that? I find it to still be useful in some cases to make nicely substitutable templates easier to make. Couldn't find anything when ctrl+f in the code but I also can't read perl. --Trialpears (talk) 16:54, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
I have just reversed one of the changes made to Peor regarding Numbers 23:28. The previous text linked to the Book of Numbers and then used the bibleverse-nb template to avoid repeating the word "Numbers" when the verse was stated. Thus the previous wording was
whereas the amended wording was
with Numbers repeated. I assume the same will happen wherever the bibleverse-nb template had been used immediately after the biblical book was named with a link to the article about the book itself. I am not sure whether the bot can spot and resolve this problem or whether the real issue is that there were some merit in retaining bibleverse-nb as a separate template after all? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:46, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
