This Help page ([[Help:Subst template]]) tries to describe how "subst" templates work. Except it does a really poor job. Go check out [[wikipedia:Help:Substitution]], since that will probably be more helpful.
== Subst-only ==
Some templates are really only designed to be used with the "<code>subst</code>" keyword.
Most templates get included like this:
<code><nowiki>
{{Wikipedia}}
</nowiki></code>
But a subst template gets included like this:
<code><nowiki>
{{subst:Wikipedia}}
</nowiki></code>
What happens is that the generated wiki text replaces the template.
That's not a great explanation. Search for "subst-only" and "Wikipedia" using your favorite search engine, and you'll probably find a better explanation.
