Template:Sandbox: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:57, 30 June 2007

Many times you may want to just 'test' an idea for a template, I haven't found a sensible way of fully testing templates by themselves (as they will not get included in the edited version, but rather the saved version).

The idea of this Template:Sandbox is to have that, a simple testing zone that will not interfere with others and avoid leaving a trail of botched attempts.

Please leave this comment/text for others to read.

Testing: Status box

Sandbox (activity)
Status:	{{{status}}}
Version:	{{{version}}}
Base:	{{{base}}}
Source:	{{{source}}}
Language:	{{{language}}}
l10n:	add it here
Contributors
{{{contributors}}}

Testing parameterized categorizations:

 type => {{{type}}} | {{{type}}}
 Category:Unknown Component
 Category:Pending i18n

This template automatically includes the page in the [[:Category:{{{type}}}]].

Usage

{{Status box
 | component    = <!-- Name of the component -->
 | type         = <!-- Type of the component {activity, core, support} -->
 | icon         = <!-- file name.ext (sans [[Image:file name.ext]] -->
 | status       = <!-- Status of the activity -->
 | version      = <!-- Current/latest version available -->
 | base         = <!-- Yes/No if it's included in the OS images
                       / Could be the first build number -->
 | source       = <!-- Repository / location of the source -->
 | language     = <!-- OPTIONAL -- Computer language of the source -->
 | l10n         = <!-- Repository / location of the l10n resources -->
 | testplan     = <!-- OPTIONAL -- link to the test plan page -->
 | contributors = <!-- People contributing to the activity -->
 }}

Sample

Foo (Bar)

Status:	{{{status}}}
Version:	{{{version}}}
Base:	{{{base}}}
Source:	{{{source}}}
Language:	{{{language}}}
l10n:	add it here
Test plans:	some page
Contributors
{{{contributors}}}

Testing parameterized categorizations:

 type => Bar | bar
 Category:Unknown Component
 Category:Pending i18n

{{ Sandbox
| component = Foo
| type = Bar
| icon = Xo s.png
| testplan = [[some page]]
}}

Notes: the type is not recognized, so defaults to a general one, testplan shows because it has one specified, icon shows, goes into pending 18n as no l10n resource is given.

Sandbox (Activity)
Status:	{{{status}}}
Version:	{{{version}}}
Base:	{{{base}}}
Source:	{{{source}}}
Language:	{{{language}}}
l10n:	Localization
Contributors
{{{contributors}}}

Testing parameterized categorizations:

 type => Activity | activity
 Category:Activity
 Category:l10n

{{ Sandbox
| type = activity
| l10n = [[Localization]]
}}

Notes: Taking the component name from the {{PAGENAME}}, icon is undefined. Goes into the l10n category, as it can be l10n'ed.
