Description:
Steps to reproduce:
- Go into your preferences, and set your nickname to {{tl|tl}} on en.wikinews.
- Save your preferences.
- Watch your nickname get expanded to {{SUBST:tl|tl}}.
Ugly, bad, yuck, no.
One additional aspect is that it doesn't recursively expand. So a workaround is to have a template that transcludes the template you want.
