I refuse.
Admin
I'm thinking something like "impersonalization" or possibly "merge fault".
Admin
"Fail Merge?"
Admin
A replace disgrace.

Going with the "let's shorten everything because we have small attention spans" motif of our modern culture:
Fext - (noun) A failure in text substitution by an automated (computerized) system. Examples are expected text substitution in documents and websites or autocorrection while generating text messages or documents.
Admin
Unreplaced?
Admin
Flubstitution?
Admin
Accept no substitutions!

I'd venture the DJ form is missing a "are you bringing a guest" yes/no question.

"The Weekly Merge Fault" would be a great category name for these Error'd. There's rarely a week without one.
Admin
Replacen't
Admin
Substifail.

Clbuttic WTF?
Admin
Ah yes, enter title. I was a big fan of concrete, but obviously-bizarre placeholders, until one morning I got the "meteor strike hits primary data center" mail about some minor malfunction in our e-training systems.
My examples for "how to write outage mails" are still "the coffee machine is broken" (technical outage) and "the fridge was unlocked overnight" (security incident).
Re titling: it feels like these people failed at the no-percent(-signs) speedrun.
Admin
Anyone who says "Please RSVP" should be smacked.
Admin
That's what I was going to suggest also.
