This template is used on approximately 3,460,000 pages, or roughly 2204% of all pages. 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. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Clear}}). |
