About
This template allows for the creation of the text   within the contents of a page. Making a page appear to show the subst: parser function is easy. Making a template transfer code including subst: can also be accomplished by wrapping critical parts with ... so as to hinder evaluation. The purpose of this template is to actually produce the text   within the page itself, so that if the page were edited that text would be seen literally. This is only needed for MediaWiki functions that quote the text of a page literally. Such pages should be marked as having been edited with this template. There is a problem in using this code in that a subsequent edit will substitute the template. Therefore it is not recommended for templates which can use the workaround.

To use this template, enter the following code in the edit box:

 template

This will produce the code  . Be sure to then indicate on the talk page that this template was used to edit the page, so that future editors will be able to reproduce the results.
