Jeremyb helped me to fix the {{wikidata}} template, to make it subst-able:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikidata&diff=774791...

(The {{#invoke}} on my sandbox had been produced by subst-ing the old version of {{wikidata}}.)

Thanks, Pharos

Hi Pharos,

I tried this on my own sandbox [1], and the subst seems to work without a problem. I’m not sure what’s in your own sandbox – the big red error in the revision you linked to seems to be caused by something different (the {{#invoke}} at the bottom), not the substituted Wikidata template.

I realize this reply is a bit late – is there still a problem, or did this get cleared up in some other way in the meantime? :)

Cheers, Lucas

Hi Wikidata-niks,

I'm trying to subst using Template:Wikidata on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pharos/ sandbox&oldid=773859189

I'd like to put something like {{subst:wikidata|title|Q42}} in the edit box, click save, and then have "Douglas Adams" saved, like how subst works for other templates.

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks, Pharos
