Operator: Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)}

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Supervised for the first bit.

Programming Language(s): WP:AWB. And Sri-Lankan.

Function Summary: Substitute widely-used templates to conserve processing power, such as {{unsigned}}.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run (for now)

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Nay.

Function Details: Basically, I'll use {{unsigned}} as an example. There are approximately 25000 transclusions of this template that are not substituted. Say each of those pages is accessed 5 times a day by unique users; that means {{unsigned}} is being used 100000 times a day, using unnecessary resources.
