Module:Unsubst
This Lua module is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Helper module to facilitate a substituted template transform into a template transclusion.
Maintenance templates, such as {{Citation needed}} or {{Refimprove}}, should never be substituted. A trick to avoid that is to make a template substitute to its transcluded form.
Usage
[संपादन करीं]To turn a template into a self-substituting template, wrap the existing template code with:
{{ {{{|safesubst:}}}#invoke:Unsubst||$B= [ ... existing template code ... ] }}
The wikitext to display when not substed must be given as "$B". A parameter "$N" may also be seen in some templates; this was required in an older version of the module, but is no longer necessary and may be removed. Such templates are automatically placed in Category:Calls to Module:Unsubst that use $N.
All other parameters passed to the #invoke will be copied to the generated template invocation as default values. If the value of any of these default parameters is "__DATE__", that value in the generated template invocation will be the current month and year.
Some templates have a <noinclude> but no matching </noinclude> at the end of the template. In such cases the missing </noinclude> must be added before the ending }}
.
Example
[संपादन करीं]Consider a template Template:Example containing the following code:
{{ {{{|safesubst:}}}#invoke:Unsubst||foo=bar |date=__DATE__ |$B= [ ... Template code goes here ... ] }}
Original | Result |
---|---|
{{subst:example}} | {{Example|foo=bar|date=अगस्त 2024}} |
{{subst:example|foo=X}} | {{Example|foo=X|date=अगस्त 2024}} |
{{subst:example|baz=X}} | {{Example|foo=bar|baz=X|date=अगस्त 2024}} |
{{subst:example|date=January 2001}} | {{Example|foo=bar|date=January 2001}} |
