Template talk:DATE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:DATE is permanently protected from editing, as it is a heavily used or visible template. Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases. Any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes, categories or interwiki links.

[edit] Document how to substitute

Could an admin please add to the template page some documentation about the proper usage for inserting this template in another template using subst:? The line that exists now, "It must be subst'd.", is a bit cryptic except to those Wikipedians who already know how to do it. I know how, so I am not asking for myself. It would also be helpful to add a template at the top explaining this template's protection status and rationale. Thanks. Finell (Talk) 19:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Feel free to add anything else on the new subpage. --- RockMFR 22:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
