There are quite a few cases of failed substitution within references that need to be cleaned up, found with insource:/\{\{subst:/ -insource:"Anchor comment" -insource:"rfd". Letcord (talk) 18:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I noticed a few hundred in the search hits with ((subst:rfd)), but they're in a comment and as-intended, it appears. Dicklyon (talk) 15:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
There needs to be more instructions on what to do when you see :subst. I saw it on the Nominate for Adminship page and can't figure out how to use it. Oo-rah! the marines are here (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I raised this over at Template talk:Subst but no-one seems to be monitoring that page.
I've found that adding subst:
works fine on templates such as ((title year)) and ((Title year+1)), but just results in a blank when used on ((title year range)). Try it in 1983–84 New York Islanders season for example. Any explanation, or fix available? Colonies Chris (talk) 13:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
((subst:title year))
substs cleanly - ((subst:title year+1))
emits ((#expr:((title year)) +1))
