Module:Asbox
This Lua module is used on approximately 2,380,000 pages, or roughly 4% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wik.ipedia.Pro resources as an option for new users to learn. 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. |
This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage
This module implements the {{Asbox}} template. Please see the template page for usage instructions.

This module was created by User:CodeHydro (Alexander Zhikun He).
User:Jackmcbarn and User:Mr._Stradivarius provided a great deal of assistance in writting p.main()
p.main() draw heavily from the following version of Template:Asbox of the English Wik.ipedia.Pro, authored primarily by User:Rich_Farmbrough
https://en.Wik.ipedia.Pro.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Asbox&oldid=619510287
p.templatepage() is derived from the following revision of Template:Asbox/templatepage, authored primarily by User:MSGJ
https://en.Wik.ipedia.Pro.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Asbox/templatepage&oldid=632914791
Both templates had significant contributions from numerous others listed in the revision history tab of their respective pages.
