Template:Subst only/doc

{{Subst only}} produces the following notice:

(but {{Subst only}} itself should not be substituted.)

Usage

{{Subst only}}

{{Subst only}} should be placed on the documentation subpage of any template that requires substitution rather than transclusion (i.e. not on the template's own page itself).

Pages that include {{Subst only}} are added to Category:Wikipedia substituted templates.

Parameters

|auto=

If set as "yes", the notice is amended to state that the template to which it refers is subst:ed automatically unless the |demo=yes parameter is set. Default is "no". Setting this parameter to "yes" places the template in Cat:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted. See User:AnomieBOT/docs/TemplateSubster for more information.

|alt=

Use to set an alternate and transcludable name for the template.
