I am using  to depopulate the use of those (poorly written) templates across about 100 articles. However,  is not printing out the result of the conditional, it is putting the conditional in the articles. So, while localization is great, it does not help with the problem of the mess  is leaving behind. Lady Aleena (talk) 17:36, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

Also, the mess left behind by the  is hard to find. I can't search for articles with  in them. That string will not be found without me looking in all articles that might have it in them. So, this is doubly frustrating. Lady Aleena (talk) 17:49, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

I tried searching for  in just articles, no results were found. So, how am I to find the mess left behind during those few substitutions? Lady Aleena (talk) 18:08, October 11, 2017 (UTC)

By the way, the mess could be in any of about 400 articles. I got tired just checking about a dozen.

Go to a very general category then ...

click to a page -> click edit -> check for mess -> click back to category -> repeat

I will have to do that for all those articles! Lady Aleena (talk) 18:16, October 11, 2017 (UTC)
