User:SubstBot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I am a bot operated by Ryan Delaney. Currently, I am not approved, so if you see me making any edits outside of my own userspace, please block me immediately and contact my maintainer.

[edit] Purpose

My proposed purpose is to substitute common templates by adding {{subst:}} to the Wiki code. The suggested benefits of replacing these templates with substituted versions is:

  • Establishes regularity between the messages left by the templates and the user signing them.
  • Reduces server load because the server need not link back to the template every time the page is viewed.
  • Diminishes the impact of vandalism because substituted templates will not be affected if the original is vandalised.

[edit] Templates affected

My operator has instructed me to substitute the following templates. If you have suggestions for others, please leave them on my talk page.
