Since Wesnoth 1.1.5, all simple substitution was eliminated in favor of complex substitution, which is more versatile.

There is no source for this claim, and my tests contradict it: In wesnoth 1.2.5, the WML snippet

			{VARIABLE foo_bar 42}
			{VARIABLE b bar}
			[gold]
				side=1
				amount=$foo_$b
			[/gold]

does nothing, but

			{VARIABLE foo_bar 42}
			{VARIABLE b bar}
			{VARIABLE_OP temp format $foo_$b}
			[gold]
				side=1
				amount=$temp
			[/gold]

adds 42 gold to side 1. I have therefore reverted the edit. Please only change the content of this page if you are sure you are right.
