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

From other Lua modules

local roundAndPad = require('Module:Decimals')._main
result = roundAndPad(n, decimals)
