Detailed example

For example, you wanted to discuss the deletion and redirecting of the article Pussycat to the article Cat. A discussion could take place at Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!; you could then place the wikitext {{subst:WikiProject please see | Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!}} in the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cats page. When the edit was saved, it would substitute it with the text:

==Discussion about article "[[Pussycat]]"==
[[File:Farm-Fresh eye.png|15px|link=|alt=]]You are invited to join the discussion at [[ Talk:Pussycat#Let's delete Pussycat!]], which is about an article that is within the scope of this WikiProject.  [[User:Example|Example]] ([[User talk:Example|talk]]) HH:MM, DD MONTH YEAR (UTC)<!--Template:WikiProject please see-->

Example 1

{{subst:WikiProject please see | Talk:United States#Name }}

Becomes:

==Discussion about article "[[United States]]"==
[[File:Farm-Fresh eye.png|15px|link=|alt=]]You are invited to join the discussion at [[ Talk:United States#Name ]], which is about an article that is within the scope of this WikiProject.
