I have a boiler tag I want to placing atop "admin container categories" which I
wanted to include a final bullet statement:
* This category was created by {{#if:{{{newcat|}}}|~~<noinclude></noinclude>~
on
~~<noinclude>~</noinclude>~~.|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>PAGECREATOR}}.}}
Also the {{db}} template series which says at the bottom:
Please consider placing the template:
{{subst:db-reason-notice|Template:Db|header=1|no reason given}} ~~~~
on the talk page of the author.
which requires the additional step of determining who authored the page would
more efficiently read better as:
Please consider placing the template:
{{subst:db-reason-notice|Template:Db|header=1|no reason given}} ~~~~
on the talk page of {{{PAGECREATOR}}}.
In my opinion. Other usefulness exists.
