Extension talk:TemplateSandbox

Previous page history was archived for backup purposes at Extension talk:TemplateSandbox/LQT Archive 1 on 2015-07-10.

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding this extension, but after following the given "How-To" steps nothing works.

I copied a test template under "User:FoXFTW/Sandbox/Template:Xyz" on my Wiki.

I then set the page name to a page currently using "Template:Xyz" and the prefix to "User:FoXFTW/Sandbox", upon clicking view I only get the current page without the changes from "User:FoXFTW/Sandbox/Template:Xyz".

Is this the correct use case? Or am I missing something?

Hi,

We shouldn't have an error when typing just wikitext (and neither page name nor rev id): wikitext is sufficient for testing some code.

Instead, when testing wikitext, we have to put a random page name to make the submitting work.

A page title is required so magic words like {{PAGENAME}}, Scribunto modules that reference the current title, and so on have something to refer to.

Ok, I understand. Thank you!
