They add a named parameter {{{subst|}}} (defaults null) at strategic
places. You can add it after any positional parameters. The "subst:"
substitutes during transclusion.
Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Uw-vandalism1 and its
siblings for simple examples.
The problem with {{substall: is that it substitutes everything, and
{{subst: doesn't substitute enough.
I'm proposing the template designer have more control, using {{## only
at similar strategic places. This is needed for templates that make
tables inside templates, and such.
As I mentioned, the use of parser functions has exploded. Folks are
getting *very* creative!
