Please note: This template should be transcluded ({{AOL}}) and not substituted (subst) because it is likely to change in the near future as the management of AOL proxies changes. Transclusion allows easy updating of all of these templates throughout the project without having to trackdown and edit hundreds of pages containing different versions of the same template.
- Also, please see {{AOL-static}} before tagging static AOL proxies
