- Template:Internetquelle (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
German-language wrapper of {{Cite web}}. Should be made Subst:-only, if kept. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a widely used internet link template which is very useful when translating articles from German Wikipedia because it automatically displays the link. Deleting it would mean editors faffing about trying to individually copy every parameter of every link into "Cite Web". Agree it should be "subst"ed. That is normal practice with these sorts of templates. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:23, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Keep and make it subst-only. I think there are some limits on substing inside of ref tags, however, so a bot might need to do the work. The other "Citation translation" templates listed under "See also" in the documentation should be treated the same way. I've had my eye on all of these for a while. Thanks for making this proposal. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:42, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Question what is the process for making a template "subst only"? Which bot carries out such substitutions already? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: I think AnomieBOT does it if you add
{{Subst only|auto=yes}}
to a template's documentation page. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}
to reply to me 13:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)- See {{Subst only}} and Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted for clues. I don't know exactly how it all works. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- The latter is fairly clear, and confirms Jc86035's suggestion. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- @Pigsonthewing: I think AnomieBOT does it if you add
- Note: I've marked this template for substitution, as suggested above. If that's not reverted, and if the bot does its job, I'll be happy to withdraw the nomination. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:59, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing: You'll need to add it to User:AnomieBOT/TemplateSubster force for the bot to work on it, since it currently has over 100 transclusions. (see note here) Anomie⚔ 23:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Well, the bot has done its job and there are now no transclusions of the template in article space, so I'm happy to withdraw the nomination for deletion. For info, it turns out to be necessary to mark up templates for safe substitution before summoning the bot. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:38, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

- Move (back?) to User:Haykam821/Infobox dog, without leaving a redirect behind, as it seems to be a draft of sorts and it's only a year since it was created so too soon for MfD. Uanfala (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
