Usage

With certain coding, subst: does not automatically convert when it is saved. An editor can create wikitext that is only converted when saved again.

Normally wikitext like {{subst:a}} is not saved as {{subst:a}} if {{template:a}} exists, because subst: pastes the coding of template:a in the saved page.

Delaying template substitution

"Subst" can be delayed with one save by creating and using {{delay subst}}.

template used template coding Paste or type Save Result
Template:Delay subst {{subst: {{subst:delay subst}}a|b}} save page {{subst:a|b}}

On the next save (with or without edits elsewhere on the page) results in substitution of template "a".
