Module:Fallback

Module documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Module:Fallback/doc.

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. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

Dependencies

• Module:Fallbacklist catalogs old fallback chains for each language as it was set up on Commons a decade ago. Lua allows now to access the default MediaWiki fallback chains which are used by most templates.
