Template:Tld
This template is used on approximately 142 000 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: |
This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.
