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.
Usage
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">String Module Error: function rep expects a number as second parameter, received "times to repeat"</syntaxhighlight>
If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".
Examples
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>nnnn</syntaxhighlight> | nnnn |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>test metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest me</syntaxhighlight> | test metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest me |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>2.2517998136852E+15</syntaxhighlight> | 2.2517998136852E+15 |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>202520252025</syntaxhighlight> | 202520252025 |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!</syntaxhighlight> | MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA! |
When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>2=</syntaxhighlight>", or use {{=}}.
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>=========</syntaxhighlight> | ========= |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>=========</syntaxhighlight> | ========= |
Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline> hello hello hello </syntaxhighlight> | hello hello hello |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>hellohellohello</syntaxhighlight> | hellohellohello |
