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 {{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: {{Translation}}

{{:Template:Translation/translation of/lang-{{{lang}}}}} [[|]]	[{{fullurl:{{{source}}}|oldid={{{version}}}}} {{:Template:Translation/original/lang-{{{lang}}}}}]
{{:{{{source}}}/translations}}	[{{fullurl:{{{source}}}|diff=current&oldid={{{version}}}}} {{:Template:Translation/changes/lang-{{{lang}}}}}]

[[Category:Translations wanted lang-{{{lang}}}|Sandbox]]

Usage

{{ Translation
  | lang            =  <-- 2/3 character language-code of the translation—ie: en, es, ... -->
  | version         =  <-- Version ID# of the edition being translated or last updated -->
  | status          =  <-- Status of the translation:
                            new     = brand new (finished) translation, which would need to be reviewed
                            old     = the source has been modified, so it needs to be sync'ed
                            ok      = the page has been reviewed and 'approved' (sort of speaking)
                            ongoing = the translation is not yet finished, and somebody is actively working on it
                            wanted  = unfinished and nobody is actively working on it -->
  | source          =  <-- OPTIONAL - Source page name—ie: "The OLPC Wiki" (sans quotes)
                            default = the parent-page (as translations are usually xyzzy/lang-xx) -->
  | source_display  =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string to the source link above
                            default = value of source -->
  | version_display =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string for the translated version link
                            default = "original" -->
  | diff_display    =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string for the differences to current link
                            default = "diff" -->
}}

NOTE

the version parameter is the number displayed in the source page in the [ID# xxxxx] of the language-navigation blue bar. Keeping this number updated to the LAST version you 'translated' or 'updated' will ease updating the page when following the diff link in your page, as it will show those changes in the original from your last update.

Samples

{{ Translation | lang = es | source = The OLPC Wiki | version = 30534 }}

{{ Translation | lang = es | source = The OLPC Wiki | version = 30534 
               | source_display = original 
               | version_display = versión traducida 
               | diff_display = últimos cambios }}
