I made this page, because I can't remember it all, and I certainly can't find it in a hurry. Uncle Ed July 7, 2005 14:37 (UTC)

Is there any way to stop this page from being listed in the categories related to the example templates that are shown? JulesH 9 July 2005 09:45 (UTC)

Yes, Jules. I used the subst: prefix inside the curly braces to turn each template code into its, er, "expansion". Then I deleted the category tag from the expanded version. Looking at the history won't really show you how I did this. I better create a help page which explains the use of "subst:". Uncle Ed July 9, 2005 15:44 (UTC)

Perhaps an admin could help you in this. --Siva1979Talk to me 18:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
