 | This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 898,000 pages, or roughly 4% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Justapedia 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. |
| 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". |
