Henda fyrimynd verður nýtt í kervisboðum. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space . The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them.
This is the {{str len }} meta-template.
It takes a string as parameter and returns its length (excluding spaces at the start and end). It can now count as high as necessary.
If the parameter is empty or undefined it is considered to be of zero length:
{{str len}}
returns 0
{{str len|}}
returns 0
{{str len| }}
returns 0
It counts the length correctly, even if the string contains spaces, looks like a number, or contains special characters:
{{str len| ab cde }}
returns 6
{{str len| 1234567 }}
returns 7
{{str len| café åäö }}
returns 8
{{str len| 499-characters... }}
returns 499
{{str len| 1000-characters... }}
returns 1000
