This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be 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. |
This मोड्युल is used in MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this मोड्युल's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this मोड्युल. Please discuss any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
