This template is used on approximately 1,670,000 pages, or roughly 4303% of all pages ./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 uses Lua :
{{str right |<string>|<offset>}} Gives the characters from <offset> to the end of the string.
A negative <offset> is treated the same as zero, which simply returns the original string.
If <offset> is longer than <string> then this returns an empty string.
If <offset> is invalid, empty or undefined, this template goes berserk, so please avoid.
