User:JohnCD at English Wikipedia writes the following: "If you enter, for instance, "Welcome" in the new template box, on clicking "Apply changes" you see the result; but if you enter "subst:welcome" you see only {{subst:welcome}}, though after clicking "Save page" the result is correct. Should there be a check-box for "subst" in the New template dialogue, (a) to save typing it out, (b) to arrange the correct display?" James F. suggested this would be good to enter as an enhancement request, since template substitution should be supported. Maggie
Lots of important templates need subst. On en {{prod}} and {{afd}} both need to be subst.
This is effectively a subset of bug 49833 which seems to be part tracking, part bugs, part enhancement requests

I might undo that. Sorry, that would be my misunderstanding of Krinke's intentions and then trying to be helpful. :(

Not only in insert dialogue. Template text should be inserted and rerendered page immediately. for example: -[[:en:Template:Accent]] -[[:ru:Шаблон:Ударение]] i do -te|xt -insert/template - subst:Ударение i see in VE -te{{subst:Ударение}}xt (after saving the page text in read mode looks normally: téxt) I want to see in VE -téxt if possible it should be a new method "template (with parameters) to text ()" with no return to template for example: -"insert/subst" or "insert/template" and in dialogue check-box for "subst" -open TemplateData for "template" (now for "subst:template" TemplateData not shown) -press Add template -template is executed and generate new text which is inserted same as ctrl+v -the new text (or all page) rendered (may consist any other template inside it)
Subst:ing isn't working (again? still?). If you follow the (soon-to-be-blanked) directions in the user guide, you get the text typed in, with no display, no expansion, and no processing. The result is that the exact wikitext of your template displays on the page, exactly as if it had been nowiki'd, but without the nowiki tags. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=620566012&oldid=618729009
