Template:Always Substitute

{{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 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.
