{{Db_errors|0|Grover-210|Y}}

When the template is used in a Public Comment, and new function "Temp hide" is used, The error record will also be hidden in the Public Comment.

Good point. I didn't think of that. I will add parameter to bypass that.

That would be nice, but another question is:

What is written in the email that will be send from de Public Comment?
The template itself or the result of the template?

I tried to check, by putting one on my own profile, but the I don't get any e-mail.
Perre, I just posted one on your profile, so you should get an email.

Here is the text of the e-mail:

The following message from Jan Terink was posted on your WikiTree profile.


{{db_errors|0|Terink-1|Y}}

Do not reply to this e-mail. Instead, you might want to:

 

If the message looks like bulk e-mail spam please delete the comment from the profile and forward this to info@wikitree.com immediately. To unsubscribe from these updates, go to your settings page.

So in my opinion, the template is not fit for use in the Public Comment.

Negative
I tested  subst: and it works just in the profile text....

{{subst:db_errors|0|Terink-1|Y}}
Looks like a bug

The email function should pre process the
comment and do the transclusion before sending it in
the same way the comment is pre processed before being displayed...
