Because I just want to be able to insert a given text anywhere in the
article, not inserting a ref or replacing an existing <ref> by a #tag...
The text is taken from a configuration file, so I have to keep the
variables (CURRENTMONTHNAME, ...) in the configuration file.

Subject: [Mediawiki-api] How to expand only {{subst:}} and {{safesubst:}}
Hi,
Is it possible through the API to give it some wikitext and get in return
the same wikitext where {{subst:}} and {{safesubst:}} have been replaced,
as they would be when saving an edit ?
In WPCleaner <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WPCleaner>, I want
to be able to insert things like current date, so I'm currently inserting
things like {{safesubst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} but as they don't work inside
<ref> tags, I'd prefer to expand then myself rather than relying on the
action=edit to do it.
Nico
