This template is only used to subst: for the character # when using accelerated entries. But as Mglovesfun mentions at Wiktionary:Grease pit#Problem with accelerated entries, this is not needed and hasn't been needed for a while now, as piped links in form-of templates are obsoleted in favour of the lang= parameter. —CodeCat 18:21, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't even think this needs an RFD, but delete -- Liliana • 18:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

But obviously accelerated-entries needs to be modified first. Preferably with a few weeks' delay in between (to give people time to get the updated JavaScript). —Ruakh_TALK 18:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

But Conrad's acceleration script, and form-of entries, aren't the only use for this. There may even be people using this (and we don't know because it's always substed), though I doubt it; but even if there are no current uses, it's a potentially very useful template. And I don't see any harm in keeping. Keep.​—msh210℠ (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah keep for now, but don't use it. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:42, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

That is, don't use it if it can be avoided. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:31, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Limited utility

It adds the character and a newline (?) before it. It wasted some of my time because of lack of documentation. The categorization, though close, was misleading in the absence of documentation. And the business end of this is fewer than 10 characters! DCDuring TALK 18:15, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
