This template uses Lua:

Module:Clickable button 2 (sandbox)

This template is used in system messages, and on approximately 1,030,000 pages, or roughly 2% of all pages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia 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.

This template styles a link like a button, using the mediawiki.ui.button module. This expands the clickable area and tap target for the link.
