Module:If preview

null

This module implements {{If preview}} and {{Preview warning}}. It helps templates/modules determine if they are being previewed.

Prefer implementing the template versions in other templates.

In a module to use the main(), you need to pass a frame table with an args table.

For the preview warning, use _warning().
