This template is used on approximately 107,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses 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">String Module Error: function rep expects a number as second parameter, received "times to repeat"</syntaxhighlight>

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

Examples

Code	Output
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>nnnn</syntaxhighlight>	nnnn
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>test metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest me</syntaxhighlight>	test metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest me
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{#expr:2 2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222*2}}</syntaxhighlight>	{{#expr:2 2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222*2}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>202520252025</syntaxhighlight>	202520252025
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>*String Module Error: function rep expects a number as second parameter, received "{{#expr:72}}"**!</syntaxhighlight>	*String Module Error: function rep expects a number as second parameter, received "{{#expr:72}}"**!

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>2=</syntaxhighlight>", or use {{=}}.

Code	Output
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>=========</syntaxhighlight>	=========
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>=========</syntaxhighlight>	=========

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

Code	Output
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> hello hello hello </syntaxhighlight>	hello hello hello
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>hellohellohello</syntaxhighlight>	hellohellohello
