I will create a bot soon that Substs templates -- Kunjarpunch / [ t ] 15:24, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Which templates? Not all templates need to be substed. Darubrub (Let me know) 15:24, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Like the warning templates -- Kunjarpunch / [ t ] 15:28, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Ok. Most people usually substitute them though and there aren't a huge amount of unsubstituted templates. I went through and substituted a lot of them last month, actually. Still, that's a reasonable bot idea. --Ferien (talk) 15:30, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
So how do I create one -- Kunjarpunch / [ t ] 15:32, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@Kunjarpunch: You'll need to code one. There are several ways to code your bot, like mw:Pywikibot. Then, you'll have to add your bot to the "bot requests" page, wehre a bureaucrat will accept or reject your bot request. --Ferien (talk) 15:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@Ferien and Darubrub: Thanks for helping me. How can I copy a bot's coding? -- Kunjarpunch / [ t ] 15:42, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@Kunjarpunch: I'm not quite sure. I don't have much experience in coding Wikipedia bots. You could ask the bot owner for the code? --Ferien (talk) 15:44, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
