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.

Testing Task

This template allows to place tags to denote something that needs further work. The parameter will be used to display the type of 'pending activity'. Currently it has been thought out to mark places where examples are needed.

Pages tagged with this template will automatically be included in the Category:Pending for easy retrieval.

Usage

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

Samples

{{#sub:

 {{{1}}} |
 

}}

pos={{#pos:{{{1}}}|/}} iftest=yes

{{ Sandbox | duration = 8 | unit = hours | category = Programming }}
