This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 1,050,000 pages, or roughly 2% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
Buttons should not be used in the article namespace. If the desire is to "navigate" a reader to a new page, taking them away from the current page, a link is preferred. Buttons are used within Wikipedia to trigger an "action". |
This template styles a link like a button, using the deprecated mediawiki.ui.button module. This expands the clickable area and tap target for the link.
