  • If a template is used as a subst please add {{Unused subst}}. It will look like:
This unused template on Wikipedia is intended for use by substitution, not transclusion. WikiProject Unused Templates is trying to clean up the unused templates or put them to some good use on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

The template WikiProject Unused templates shows up on the unused templates list because it does not have any transclusion links. This is because it is usually substituted into articles.
