broken substitution

this can't be right ... Frietjes (talk) 15:48, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Frietjes, that particular issue was fixed, and while I thought I had found the erroneous edits apparently I was wrong. Also, this template is no longer being autosubst. If you have a good way of finding these erroneous substitutions I'm all ears, because I've searched three times now and have fixed everything I've discovered. Primefac (talk) 15:56, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, should be possible with a regexp match + tracking in the redirect category shell. but, that would add some processing overhead. the other option would be to go through the bot's edit history during the time period when this was happening and check all of those pages.

Remaining transclusions

@Primefac and Rich Farmbrough: All remaining transclusions of this template are on fully protected pages. —Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

Indeed, by my reckoning there should be 99 of them. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:41, 11 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Plus 4 not in the Category:Protected redirects, making 103. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:46, 11 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Edit request: change {{Wikidata redirect}} to {{R with Wikidata item}}.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, {{Wikidata redirect}} is intended for soft redirects, and the equivalent for hard redirects is {{R with Wikidata item}}. A smart kitten (talk) 19:04, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
