Module:Check blp parameter/sandbox
Appearance
This is the module sandbox page for Module:Check blp parameter (diff). |
This Lua module is used on approximately 2,520,000 pages, or roughly 4% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
Usage
[edit]This module is used by Template:WikiProject Biography to check for issues with the |blp=
, |BLP=
and |living=
parameters.
