Your edit summary should be something like <code>create sandbox version of [[Template:X]]</code>.</li> <li>Create another subpage with the name <code>Template:X/testcases</code>. This page is only linked from the bottom of the blue documentation box if it actually exists, so to create it you will need to create it by typing the page name into the search box or into the URL bar of your browser.

After you've purged the page, compare the results for the main template with the results from the sandbox, and if everything looks okay, you can update the main template. However, be wary of missing test cases and of code that can only be tested in certain namespaces or on certain pages.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="How_to_update_existing_/sandbox_and_/testcases_subpages" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_to_update_existing_/sandbox_and_/testcases_subpages"><span id="How_to_update_existing_.2Fsandbox_and_.2Ftestcases_subpages"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_to_update_existing_/sandbox_and_/testcases_subpages"></span>How to update existing /sandbox and /testcases subpages<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_to_update_existing_/sandbox_and_/testcases_subpages"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-How_to_update_existing_\/sandbox_and_\/testcases_subpages","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>To make a change to a template which already has /sandbox and /testcases subpages, the process is similar to the above. </p> <ol><li>The /sandbox may not have the latest version of the template code in it, so before you make a change, you need to synchronize it with the main template.

For example, if your template outputs a banner message, and if the parameter <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|italic=yes</code> makes that message italicized, you should add one test case for the normal message and one for the italicized message. If that template has another parameter, <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|date=</code>, where the user inserts the date, then there should be a third test case for that. You should try and be thorough and make cases for all the ways users might use your template; however, it is often impractical to add test cases for every single parameter combination, so you should choose the most relevant ones wisely. </p><p>There are quite a few different styles of test case that you can use. Which one you choose depends on the nature of the template you are working on. For example, for short template output that fits on one line, it can be useful to put the test cases inside a wikitable, and for long and thin templates such as infoboxes, it is often best to display them side by side by using <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Testcase_table" title="Template:Testcase table">testcase table</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Manual_formatting" data-mw-thread-id="h-Manual_formatting-Adding_test_cases"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Manual_formatting-Adding_test_cases"></span>Manual formatting<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Manual_formatting-Adding_test_cases"></span></h3></div> <p>Manually formatting gives you a great deal of flexibility, but care must be taken to ensure that all the template parameters are entered correctly. An error in one of the test cases is often harder to find than an error in the template itself. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Basic_format" data-mw-thread-id="h-Basic_format-Manual_formatting"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Basic_format-Manual_formatting"></span>Basic format<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Basic_format-Manual_formatting"></span></h4></div> <p>This format works well for banner templates and for lengthy text, e.g. citations.

With these templates, parameters and values are only entered once, but are still tested for both the main template and the sandbox templates. This avoids the problem of errors in test case parameters, and makes it easier to maintain test case pages. These templates include: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:Test_case" title="Template:Test case">Template:Test case</a>, for general-purpose test cases</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:Testcase_table" title="Template:Testcase table">Template:Testcase table</a>, for long and thin templates such as infoboxes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:Inline_test_case" title="Template:Inline test case">Template:Inline test case</a>, for long and thin templates such as infoboxes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:Test_case_nowiki" title="Template:Test case nowiki">Template:Test case nowiki</a>, for templates with complex invocations</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:Collapsible_test_case" title="Template:Collapsible test case">Template:Collapsible test case</a>, to collapse test cases when the main and sandbox templates produce the same result</li></ul> <p>Note that all of these templates can produce collapsible test cases, but <a href="/wiki/Template:Collapsible_test_case" title="Template:Collapsible test case">Template:Collapsible test case</a> has this feature turned on by default. For detailed documentation, see the individual template pages. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Tests_that_can't_be_made_on_/testcases_pages" data-mw-thread-id="h-Tests_that_can&#039;t_be_made_on_/testcases_pages"><span id="Tests_that_can.27t_be_made_on_.2Ftestcases_pages"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Tests_that_can't_be_made_on_/testcases_pages"></span>Tests that can't be made on /testcases pages<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Tests_that_can't_be_made_on_/testcases_pages"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Tests_that_can't_be_made_on_\/testcases_pages","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>Some template features can't be tested on /testcases pages. For example, a template may only output certain text when in the main namespace, or it may output different things when it is used on a base page and when it is used on a subpage. For these kinds of tests, you can use the "Preview page with this template" feature that you can see underneath the edit window on template pages. To make this feature even more powerful, you can install <a href="/wiki/User:Jackmcbarn/advancedtemplatesandbox.js" title="User:Jackmcbarn/advancedtemplatesandbox.js">User:Jackmcbarn/advancedtemplatesandbox.js</a>, which makes it usable in any namespace, and lets you specify the title of the template as well as the page to preview it on. This means that you can edit the sandbox template, but preview pages as if you were actually editing the main template. </p><p>If you can think of any tests that can't be made on the /testcases page, it may be helpful to leave a note at the top of the /testcases page outlining what else needs testing, so that future editors of that template are also aware. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2
