I made sure to copy the source - but I had tried doing an export/import and got the same result too.

Here's the skinny. I made some changes and after many attempts at narrowing down the problem ended up with this: Notice the hyphen inserted in between the opening brackets of the commented template references for  and.

When I look at the actual template for  on my wikia I just get a white page! I have zero idea why, but I'm going to attempt to delete the page via the url action commands and then recreate it. Some clearly weird interaction going on, but I don't know what.

I'm guessing that there's going to be something similar going on with Module:Unsubst --- just have to spot the oddity. :) There is a known bug that caused some "white" pages despite having contents . This was announced as fixed in a technical update, but cached pages still need a "purge".

Comments shouldn't raise any issues at all, unless there is some sort of escape character preventing the comments from working. You can simply delete those commented lines or change to a multi-line comment :

--[[ This

is a multiline comment]]--

Module:Unsubst seems very simple, so it shouldn't really raise any errors.
