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.
{{loop|times to repeat|string}}
Ifstring contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
{{loop|4|n}}
|
nnnn |
{{loop|25|test me}}
|
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 |
{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}

{{loop|{{#expr:7*2}}| '''MUDA}}!
|
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 "2=", or use {{=}}.
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
{{loop|9|2==}}
|
========= |
{{loop|9|{{=}}}}
|
========= |
Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.
| Code | Output |
|---|---|
{{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}}
|
hello hello hello |
{{loop|3| hello }}
|
hellohellohello" |
