They are shown without subst at right to reduce the display space occupied by the table, not to encourage their use without subst. Type {{subst:uw-tpv3|...}} ~~~~, not {{uw-tpv3|...}} ~~~~.

The levels of templates are:

[edit] Conflicts with extant guidelines

Please note that this template, in the overgenerality of its wording, conflicts with the long-standng WP:REFACTOR. These templates should only be used when the refactoring (or deletion of course) appears to be a) in bad faith, or b) is nitpicky spelling-fascism types of edits. They should not be used for a) sensitive refactoring (such as correcting broken wikilinks in others' posts, fixing indentation levels, adding in missing attribution, etc.), b) archival of talk messages, or c) accuracy refactoring of poll results and other talk page items of a factual, not personal, nature. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 01:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
