Template:Sandbox: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:23, 31 May 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 Task

Purpose of this template is to organize Category:Tasks in a homogeneous way, according to the guidelines mentioned in Participate.

Pages tagged with this will be included in the following categories:

Category:Tasks
According to its category parameter:
- Category:Programming
- Category:Education
- Category:Organizing
- or some other.
According to its unit parameter:

Usage

{{ Task
            | name     =    <!-- OPTIONAL -- some name for the task at hand -->
            | duration =    <!-- a number denoting the estimated time required -->
            | unit     =    <!-- { minutes | hours | days | weeks | months | years } -->
            | category =    <!-- { Programming | Education | Organizing } -->
}}

Samples

Duration:	8 hours
