Template:Always substitute
A template that has been copied from the English wikipedia which does not work because it relies on a bot that does not run on this project.

On the English wikipedia AnomieBOT can be configured to automatically perform certain operations on templates, e.g. adding dates to maintenance tags and substituting transuded templates. This template is used by that bot to indicate that templates are to be automatically substituted if they are accidentally transuded. The issue here is that AnomieBOT only runs on the English wikipedia. There is no point copying templates that form part of that bot's internal workings to this project, there is no point adding notes that "Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot." to templates, and there is no point sorting templates into categories like Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted because the bot that actually performs that work does not edit here. — 192.76.8.85 18:10, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Fixed. – Ilovemydoodle (Not a sockpuppet) (talk / e-mail) 18:34, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Well no, not really. It still sorts pages into broken and missing categories, it still contains code to call templates and pages that don't exist on this wiki, and it is still completely unnecessary because it's part of a bot workflow that doesn't exist on this wiki. 192.76.8.85 19:03, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Fully fixed now. Can you withdraw? – Ilovemydoodle (Not a sockpuppet) (talk / e-mail) 19:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * How is this functionality fixed? Where exactly is the bot running? ~ Ningauble (talk) 23:33, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly never worked as intended, neither as originally implemented nor as "fixed". —This unsigned comment is by Ningauble (talk • contribs).
 * Delete Not for the nominator's reason (this template still could serve a purpose of documenting that a template should be substituted even if there's no bot doing it), but because the template is only used in two useless pages in the creator's userspace. * Pppery * it has begun 22:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
