Copy-pasting the code from WP:RM to make a requested move renders as:

{{[[:en:Substitution|subst]]:[[Template:Requested move|Requested move]]|NewFoo|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change....}}

Correctly, you should see:

{{subst:Requested move|NewFoo|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change...}}

This only happens when the Wikitext editor is enabled.

I just tested this. It appears to be the general copy-paste issue. (i.e. The editor pasting nowikis and various markup, when we want/need to just copy plaintext from a page.)

I just tried it again and had no issues. Was someone able to fix it?

If you force your web browser to paste plain text (e.g., Edit > Paste and Match Style or ⌥⇧⌘–v on a Mac), then you will get the plain text.

I think I wasn't able to Ctrl+Shift+V in plaintext before the other day. Now I can.
