Template notices

Template:Template test cases notice and Template:Template sandbox notice should be updated for nonstandard test case locations, additionally, test case notice template needs to be updated of nonstandard sandbox location that the sandbox notice template already supports. 76.66.196.229 (talk) 09:38, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many other templates, like for instance {{documentation}}, and most experienced template coders expect the standard names /sandbox and /testcases. So a better approach is to move your non-standard pages to the standard names. If you have a /testcases page that is used for several templates, then you can redirect the /testcases pages of the other templates to the main /testcases page.

((test-mode))

We now have the {{test-mode}} template for advanced testing. It provides a test-mode where the test version of a template is shown in the articles instead of the normal version. It is especially useful for testing meta-templates and sub-templates that might be several steps away from the templates placed on the pages, so we can't call the test versions directly.

The test-mode should only be used after the normal testing in the /sandbox and /testcases pages has been done.
