Encyclopedic overview
Substitution is a process that copies the content of a source page into a target page once as a fixed copy. The source can be a template, magic word, variable, parser function, or other Wikipedia page. Substitution differs from transclusion, which copies the current content of the source each time the target page is loaded.
