. Parameters are replaced per
this list. (Semi-)Protected parameters are dropped, as they are built-in with the new template. Initial run will not deal with named parameters e0, e1.... p1, p2 ... and n1, n2, ... - pages using them will be skipped. They may be added later if necessary. Any fully protected redirects will also be ignored. [update] Named parameters e0, e1.... p1, p2 ... and n1, n2, ... are dealt with. Any other named params will cause the page to be skipped, for later manual inspection.
Um... bot is blocked, and the template is already on the autosubst list. Pointless BRFA? Primefac ( talk) 22:53, 1 May 2017 (UTC) reply
