Worse than useless. Already banned from main article space because it causes usability issues. The Storm Surfer 04:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

If, as it appears, the devs are unwilling to make with a fix, I'd say we'd better disable even the subst'd equivelant sitewide somehow. There's nothing preventing that from being used in mainspace, and it only seems to come to anyone's attention when someone adds it to a very busy article ala United States.
