Template:Msubst
Useless template that doesn't do anything. The first part of the template produces, trivial functionality that does not merit a template. The second part of the template seems to be some kind of attempt at automatic categorisation, which just sorts the page into a non-existent category. — 192.76.8.85 17:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott (talk) 18:34, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the intent of the first part was something like w:Template:Delay subst, which I have found useful on some other projects. And the second part just seems to categorize the template itself into a nonexistent category, not automatically categorize other pages. But still delete given the problematic context of the template's creation and it's current lack of use. Pppery (talk) 16:43, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Pppery Delayed or recursive substitution would make sense, though why it's at this title I have no idea. Based on the title and the other edits they were making around the same time I assume this was either some attempt at escaping subst: via a template or it is in some way related to Module:Subst, which seems to be an attempt to make subst: in LUA? And yes, I should have been clear that the second part only categorises the template itself, I assume that must be a relic of this being nicked from some other project, it makes no sense to deliberately sort this into a category that doesn't exist. 192.76.8.85 17:21, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks like a direct copy of m:Template:Subst, which explains both the leading m in the name and the redlinked category, and proves my intent hypothesis correct. Pppery (talk) 17:23, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Pppery Yep, that's it, that's the mystery solved! 192.76.8.85 17:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
