Forum:Subst only warning template?

Is there a subst only warning template on Templates, or on the Starter? Something like Wikipedia's wikipedia:en:template:subst only would be quite useful to have on all Wikia wikis when building substitution templates (like subst boilerplates) as part of documenting the template, instead of having to build custom warnings on each wiki.

 * A template like this doesn't exist on Templates wiki or Starter that I know of. You could make a version on Templates wiki and then ask Wikia to put it on Starter. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 22 Dec 2011 5:07 PM Pacific


 * Ok, I've built one, tell me what you think before I tag this staff needed with a request to add it to Starter.
 * w:c:templates:Template:subst only

There's also w:c:templates:Template:Subst reminder to complement it. It's a warning in template code. ForestMonthZero 08:41, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * And now w:c:templates:Template:Do not subst and w:c:templates:Template:Do not subst reminder. A message template for documenting templates and a warning in template code, respectively. ForestMonthZero 08:57, December 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Adding staff needed
 * Please add a subst only template to w:c:starter. An example has been provided at the Templates.Wikia (w:c:templates:template:subst only)

 * Reviving thread to see if Wikia staff will actually respond. Adding the Staff needed tag was that last edit, but staff seems to be intentionally ignoring this thread. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 28 Mar 2012 1:58 PM Pacific


 * The purpose of starter is to introduce wikis to templates that are helpful starting out, not for wikis that require high level of documentation and substitution. As such, adding more and more templates - ones founders will likely never touch - runs the risk of overwhelming founders. Personally, I have an additional rule of thumb about whether something belongs on starter - If it looks like it belongs on the door of a nuclear research facility, it's not a good fit. By that I mean, large red templates are not the best user experience for a new wiki founder just searching their way through all the things that came with their wiki. Just try to put themselves in their shoes - how would you feel if you're a fairly novice user and you stumble across this? Doesn't it make you want to run in the opposite direction screaming?
 * To simplify, while starter is often times viewed simply as a repository of useful templates, that's not our intent for the wiki. Our intent is for common, basic templates that users will need in their first 30 days on the wiki to be there preloaded for them. As wikis evolve and grow, the needs for these templates increase and at that point, they are always free to go to a great site like templates or admintools or any big wiki that has a useful template, and copy it over. As such, I will not be copying this template over. Sorry if this disappoints you but I hope you understand our reasoning. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:14, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
