Thanks!
We show this notice message in converter pages (e.g. https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Special:CreateObject?zid=Z46)

@GrounderUK Would it be useful to show it in normal code implementation ones, too?

I don’t think the magic is required for code implementations of functions at all. If we retain it, I think it would be better to mention it only when the “Z0” string is present, as a warning in the Publish dialogue. In any event, it would be helpful to clarify that the substitution can be reversed in a subsequent edit. I’m not aware of any similar situations, but as a general principle I think we should save what the user entered and make automatic amendments to that only in a subsequent edit. I don’t think we should put much effort into that at this stage, but if it should happen to be straightforward…

Change #1215569 had a related patch set uploaded (by Daphne Smit; author: Daphne Smit):

[mediawiki/extensions/WikiLambda@master] ZCode:Show Z0 placeholder notice when code contains Z0

type converter NEW	implementation NEW

if its ok I did it like this for now. I show it whenever Z0 is used and it will appear, removing Z0 and it will disappear.
I adjusted the message to tell the user it can be reverted in a subsequent edit. Does this help?

Thanks. Yes, that’s fine with me!
