 | This Lua module is used on approximately 48,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | 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. |
This module implements {{Error}}. It creates an html message with class "error". Please, see the documentation page there for usage instructions.
-- This module implements {{error}}.

if not (tag == 'p' or tag == 'span' or tag == 'div') then
tag = 'strong'
end
-- Generate the html.

-- the args are passed in directly.
