Module:Weather box

This Lua module is used on approximately 21,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia 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.

Usage

This module is used by {{Weather box}}.
