{{module rating|alpha}}<!-- delete if this is not desirable -->
This module is weird: it's not meant to be ''used'', just ''previewed''. The purpose is to find out how many [[mw:Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit|expensive function calls]] appear before a given point within a page. That helps people to examine where the problem is in long, complicated pages and tables.
To prevent saving this by accident, the module creates a link to a blacklisted site (one which no longer exists) which is not displayed, but trips the blacklist warning if Save is pressed. And if you manage to save it anyway, the count isn't accurate (usually 0) ''and'' the page shows up in [[:Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls]], so don't.
== Usage ==
{{tlm|#invoke:Preview expense|main}} entered in the preview window.
== Parameters ==
None
== Simulated sample output ==
<span style="color:yellow;background-color:red;">There are 31 expensive function calls before this point</span>
