MSG:
[edit]A template modifier. I.e. {{msg:stub}} shows
{{Stub}}
The use of msg has an effect when a template name clashes with a magic word. For example, if [[Template:CURRENTMONTHNAME]] contained "Test", then {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "August" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".
SUBST:
[edit]A template modifier. Replaces the reference to the template (e.g. {{subst:template}}) with the content of the template.
This article is a stub. You can help Wikimedia by expanding it.
MSGNW:
[edit]A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.
So {{msgnw:stub}} outputs:
{{asbox | image = Wiki letter w.svg{{!}}link= | imgalt = | category = Wikiquote stubs }}<noinclude> [[Category:Stub Templates| ]] </noinclude>
