- python template.py test -namespace:2 -namespace:3 + python template.py test -subst -namespace:2 -namespace:3

-Note that, on the English Wikipedia, User: is namespace 2 and User talk: is -namespace 3. This may differ on other projects so make sure to find out the -appropriate namespace numbers.

- This next example substitutes the template lived with a supplied edit summary. It only performs substitutions in main article namespace and doesn't prompt to start replacing. Note that -putthrottle: is a global pywikipedia parameter.

- python template.py -putthrottle:30 -namespace:0 lived -always + python template.py -putthrottle:30 -namespace:0 lived -subst -always -summary:"ROBOT: Substituting {{lived}}, see [[WP:SUBST]]."
