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. See Also http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template
- Testing: Missing translation
- REDIRECT [[]]
Usage
{{Sandbox | lang = <!-- UNNAMED #1 — language code of the missing translation (see Translating for codes) --> | action = <!-- UNNAMED #2 — OPTIONAL — what to do. Default is to REDIRECT to the parent page. --> | page = <!-- OPTIONAL — the page name (sans enclosing [[]]) to include or redirect to --> }}
NOTE: If you name one of the parameters, the other also has to be named.
Sample
The following are all equivalents, as they all generate a REDIRECT directive to the upper level
{{Missing translation|es}} {{Missing translation|es|redirect}} {{Missing translation|lang=es}}{{Missing translation|lang=es|redirect}}# Doesn't work due to naming inconsistency {{Missing translation|lang=es|action=redirect}} {{Missing translation|lang=es|action=redirect|page=Foo}} # assuming the including page is [[Foo/subpage]]
If instead of REDIRECTing you want to include the parent page, the following are equivalent:
{{Missing translation|es|include}}{{Missing translation|lang=es|include}}# Doesn't work due to naming inconsistency {{Missing translation|lang=es|action=include}} {{Missing translation|lang=es|action=include|page=Foo}} # assuming the including page is [[Foo/subpage]] # This would include the [[Bar]] page regardless of what the including page is. {{Missing translation|lang=es|action=include|page=Bar}}
