Warning 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 (sandbox)

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

{{loop|times to repeat|string}}

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

Examples

Code	Output
`{{loop\|4\|n}}`	nnnn
`{{loop\|25\|test me}}`	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
`{{#expr:2{{loop\|50\|*2}}}}`	2.2517998136852E+15
`{{loop\|3\|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}`	202520252025
`{{loop\|{{#expr:7*2}}\|  '''MUDA}}!`	MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{= }}.

Code	Output
`{{loop\|9\|2==}}`	=========
`{{loop\|9\|{{=}}}}`	=========

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

Code	Output
`{{#invoke:String\|rep\| hello \|3}}`	hello hello hello
`{{loop\|3\| hello }}`	hellohellohello
