He means how to prevent it from substituting - he want's it live, changing with the CURRENT date and time (goodness knows why) - I don't have a solution. I guess it would require some hacking, or a sort of trashy solution would be to create another template like {{cd}} with the content {{CURRENTDAY}} in it; so that when {{cd}} is forced to substitute, it merely puts the {{CURRENTDAY}} template in there. Substitution isn't recursive through other templates, you know.

Hello all, and thanks for your help!
A question about signing with "~~~":
In my preferences page, I can choose to edit my sign-up by myself. Well, the problem is that when I insert a template inside the signing-text, it becomes immediately a "SUBST" template. i.e. - when I use the template {{CURRENTDAY}} it suddenly becomes {{SUBST:CURRENTDAY}} when I save the preferences page. If I want my signing to keep moving, or for any other reason do not write the template itself, Can I do it somehow?
Just use ~~~~ because it will write the day and time etc. Filip _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
