That's a problem I've had too. Copying-and-pasting from the documentation is the best way to go as far as I'm concerned. Using subst: will make you submit the page then go back and edit it. If someone views the page after you made the first edit but before you made the second edit, they will see the page as broken and possibly try to correct it. If you're going to use that method, try making an Under Construction template, or at least put "Under construction" at the top of the page so that no one else edits the page. That causes edit conflicts, which are very confusing to fix.

If it's a commonly used template, you can add a button at the top of the editor to paste the correct code. I've never made one of these, but the Avatar wiki has them and I'm sure one of the admins there would point you in the right direction.
