Template:Loop

Template documentation

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.

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

• {{loop|9|2==}}

or:

• {{loop|9|{{=}}}}

• {{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
