Rationale

Intended replacement for {{update}} when applicable. Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 10:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

Resolved

– Reply at project discussion page topic instead of here.

{{Old fact}} should be merged into {{Update after}}. To centralize consensus-forming, the merge discussion is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Inline Templates#Merge proposal: Old fact into Update after, so this topic has been marked "Resolved" as an FYI which should not be responded to directly here. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 18:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subst? And sorts.

Why does the template documentation say that it needs to be subst'd? I don't see the rationale for that. Also, why was PAGENAME removed from the category sorts for this template? — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 03:37, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it needs to be substed because that way the fix template will be seen by bots and such? I'm not sure, but just guessing I'd say that was the reason. Shinobu 22:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
