Hey I have a question about that! I've seen this before and never asked. What does addeding the "subst:" actually do? Doesn't it produce the same template as writing the link template without? What's the difference? I'm not trying to disagree, I actually don't know lol. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 21:30, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

:Subst places the coding of the template on the page so <nowiki>{{subst:mp1}}</nowiki> creates the full link to ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' once you save instead of just <nowiki>{{mp1}}</nowiki>. Because it places the exact coding, (minus stuff in noinclude tags) it shouldn't be used with all templates. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 21:43, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
