Template:Always substitute/doc

{{Always substitute}} produces the following notice:

(but {{Always substitute}} itself should not be substituted.)

Usage

{{Always substitute}}

{{Always substitute}} 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 {{Always substitute}} are added to Category:Wikipedia substituted templates.

Parameters

|auto=

If set as "yes", the template to which the notice refers will be subst:ed automatically unless the |demo=yes parameter is set. The notice is amended to state this. Default is "no". Setting this parameter to "yes" places the template in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category: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.

|nocat=true

Suppress automatic categorization.
