[edit] MSG:

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 "November" but {{msg:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} would display "Test".

[edit] SUBST:

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.

[edit] MSGNW:

A template modifier. Causes the template source to be pasted.

So <pre>{{msgnw:stub}}</pre> outputs:

---

{{msgnw:stub}}
