{{lua|Module:String}}
This template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on [[Module:String]], and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.

== Usage ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{loop|times to repeat|string}}</syntaxhighlight>

If '''string''' contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".

== Examples ==
{|class="wikitable"
! Code
! Output
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|4|n}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|4|n}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|25|test me}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|25|test me}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|{{#expr:7*2}}|  '''MUDA}}!</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|{{#expr:7*2}}|  '''MUDA}}!
|}

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>2=</syntaxhighlight>", or use {{tl|1==}}.
{|class="wikitable"
! Code
! Output
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|9|2==}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|9|2==}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|9|{{=}}}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|9|{{=}}}}
|}

Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{ml|string|rep|section=#rep}} instead to preserve it.

{|class="wikitable"
! Code
! Output
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}}
|-
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{loop|3| hello }}</syntaxhighlight>
| {{loop|3| hello }}
|}
