Template:Sandbox

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.
