Hey there,
I was cleaning out old messages and came across this very old message
and realized I can contribute to the project now, so here it is as a
blast from the past:

Issue #753 was created for updating the information about the
untitled wildcard and has been closed:
https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/753
PR #1804 was merged to take care of it:
https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/1804
That PR added the "Automatic filename insertion on Save As..."
section to the Geany documentation:
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/doc/geany.txt#automatic-filename-insertion-on-save-as
The untitled wildcard is also mentioned in the "Dynamic Wildcards"
table section of geany.txt:
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/doc/geany.txt#dynamic-wildcards
Neither of those two documentation sections mention that only the
first occurrence of the untitled wildcard will be replaced if there
are multiple occurrences. Also, the untitled wildcard's entry in the
"Dynamic wildcards" table doesn't yet mention that the wildcard must
be in the first three lines.
I've been on GitHub for quite some time now, so I can do a pull
request (or two pull requests if you prefer) to make those changes
and create one or two issues for them first if you like.
