@[[:User:Redrose64|Redrose64]]: our String module is mirrored from [[w:Module:String|enwiki's String module]], and it's periodically updated from that main version (see the updates in [[Special:Diff/7260991|January 2014]], [[Special:Diff/11035459|January 2015]], and mine in [[Special:Diff/15513606|April 2016]]). While never updating again would prevent the expression error in [[Template:Sub]], it'd be better to fix the error so we can benefit from the continued maintenance of the module. —<small>[[User talk:Pathoschild/s|Pathoschild]] 18:59, 10 April 2016 (UTC)</small>
:The desire to keep [[Module:String]] and [[:en:Module:String]] synchronised is laudable, but this rather relies on the templates invoking it also being the same as regards parameters and function. The flaw in this assumption is demonstrated by [[Template:Sub]] and [[:en:Template:Sub]] which not only have different parameters, they have ''very'' different purposes. There may be other such pairs of dissimilar templates: I don't know, I only noticed the problem with {{tlx|sub}}. --[[User:Redrose64|Redrose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]; [[:en:User:Redrose64|at English Wikipedia]]) 23:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

:: That's fine. [[Module:String]] is a generic module which should be kept in sync, but many other templates are Meta-specific and shouldn't be mirrored. The updated version is only slightly different from the older version, so we could update it and I can fix any pages added to [[:Category:Pages with script errors]] as they appear. —<small>[[User talk:Pathoschild/s|Pathoschild]] 02:33, 11 April 2016 (UTC)</small>

Sync with [[en:Module:string]].

It seems it added: <code>escapePattern, count, endswith, join</code> [[User:Waddie96|Waddie96]] ([[User talk:Waddie96|talk]]) 21:12, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
