Template sandbox and testcases for TEMPLATE_NAME

Overview

This page provides a clean workflow to safely edit and validate TEMPLATE_NAME:

Sandbox: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/sandbox — a working copy where you make changes.
Testcases: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/testcases — inputs that exercise typical and edge cases.
Live: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME — the production version. Do not edit directly without review.

Use this page to:

Preview sandbox output against fixed testcases without touching the live template.
Compare actual vs expected output for each testcase.
Track recent changes and invite reviewers.

Quick links

Sandbox: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/sandbox
Testcases: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/testcases
Documentation: Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/doc (optional)
Talk page: Template talk:TEMPLATE_NAME

How to test

1. Edit the sandbox at Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/sandbox. 2. Open this test page and click “Show preview” to render the sandbox with inputs below. 3. Verify each testcase: Does the “Actual output” match the “Expected output”? 4. If all pass, consider copying sandbox to live using an edit summary like:

  “Sync from /sandbox: passes all /testcases as of YYYY-MM-DD.”

Previewing tips

Use “Preview page with this template” gadget or the built-in preview.
Check parser output in different skins and mobile view.
Validate accessibility: headings order, link text, ARIA where applicable.
Internationalization: test with non-ASCII parameters and RTL where relevant.

Test harness

The following sections render the sandbox template against curated inputs. Each testcase shows:

Parameters passed to the template
Expected output (as plain wikitext target)
Actual output (rendered via sandbox transclusion)

Testcase A: Minimal invocation

Parameters: {{TEMPLATE_NAME}}

Expected output: [Minimal successful output with defaults: e.g., a neutral message or basic box]

Actual output (sandbox):

Character and language test sandbox

This sandbox is used to test how Template:TEMPLATE NAME behaves with special characters (such as Greek letters) and language-specific spans.

Basic examples

Greek letter (direct character): α
Greek letter (HTML entity): γ
German span example: A

Within the template

Below are example calls of the template using these characters as parameters.

{{TEMPLATE NAME | title = Greek test: α γ | summary = Demonstrating Greek letters: α, β, γ, and entities like γ. | attr1 = Direct Greek: α β γ δ | attr2 = Entity Greek: α β γ δ | attr3 = German label: A, English label: A }}

Preview the page to check if:

Greek characters (α, β, γ, δ) display correctly.
HTML entities (α, β, γ, δ) render as the expected symbols.
The A is kept as a German-language span and does not break the layout.

Notes

Use this sandbox to experiment with different scripts (Greek, Cyrillic, etc.).
Test right-to-left scripts by adding spans with lang="ar" or lang="he".
If the template trims or escapes some of these, adjust the template code accordingly.

Testcase B: Common parameters

Parameters: {{TEMPLATE_NAME | param1 = Alpha | param2 = Beta | flag = yes }}

Expected output: [Example: shows "Alpha" and "Beta" in designated slots; flag toggles enhanced styling]

Actual output (sandbox):

Review checklist

Output is stable across re-parses; no expensive parser functions without need.
No unexpected categorization in mainspace; errors go to maintenance cats.
Template is documented at Template:TEMPLATE_NAME/doc with parameters, examples, and tracking.
Style is minimal; avoid inline CSS unless necessary; consider using existing module or template styles.

Template:Terminate sentence ensures a sentence ends with a specified terminator (default: a period). It avoids adding duplicate terminators and can optionally trim trailing spaces. It attempts to ignore trailing closing quotes or brackets when deciding whether a terminator is already present.

Usage

Basic:

{{Terminate sentence|This is a sentence}}
→ This is a sentence.

Named parameters:

{{Terminate sentence
 |text=He said "Hello"
 |term=.
}}
→ He said "Hello".

Custom terminator:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Warning|term=!}}
→ Warning!

Avoid duplicate terminator:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Already done.|term=.}}
→ Already done.

Trim trailing spaces:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Ends with space   |trim=yes}}
→ Ends with space.

Skip processing:

{{Terminate sentence|text=No changes here|skip=yes}}
→ No changes here

Append a note:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Complete|note=(source: 2025)}}
→ Complete. (source: 2025)

Parameters

1 / text: The input text to terminate.
term: The terminator to enforce at the end. Default is .. Common choices: !, ?.
trim: If yes/true/1, strips trailing spaces before checking.
skip: If yes/true/1, returns text unchanged (still appends note if provided).
allowdup: If yes/true/1, allows duplicate terminators (e.g., ellipses). Default disallows duplicates.
note: Optional text appended after a space, unaffected by termination logic.

Behavior details

Terminator detection attempts to ignore trailing closing quotes/brackets (", ', ”, ), ], }).
If the last visible character equals term, no extra terminator is added unless allowdup=yes.
If trim=yes, trailing spaces are removed before detection.
If note is present, it is added with a leading space after the final text.

Examples

Quotes:

{{Terminate sentence|text=He whispered "hush"|term=.}}

 → He whispered "hush".

Parentheses:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Complete (verified)|term=.}}

 → Complete (verified).

Exclamation:

{{Terminate sentence|text=Alert|term=!}}

 → Alert!

Ellipsis (allow duplicates):

{{Terminate sentence|text=Wait...|term=.|allowdup=yes}}

 → Wait....

Best practices

Prefer using term that matches the sentence intent (., !, ?).
For complex punctuation, consider the Lua-powered variant below.
Document usage in your template’s /doc page where you incorporate this helper.

Lua-powered variant (optional)

For more robust detection (including multilingual quotes and punctuation), create Module:TerminateUtil with:

-- Module:TerminateUtil
local M = {}

local closing = {
  [")"] = true, ["]"] = true, ["}"] = true,
  ['"'] = true, ["'"] = true, ["”"] = true, ["’"] = true, ["»"] = true, ["›"] = true
}

local function trimRight(s)
  return (s:gsub("%s+$",""))
end

function M.lastVisibleChar(args)
  local s = args.s or ""
  s = trimRight(s)
  local i = #s
  while i > 0 do
    local c = s:sub(i,i)
    if closing[c] then
      i = i - 1
    else
      return c
    end
  end
  return ""
end

return M

Then update the template to call:

{{#invoke:TerminateUtil|lastVisibleChar|s=text}}

This improves detection for closing quotes and brackets.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`\|collapsed=`	Include this parameter with the value Template:Var (`\|collapsed=yes`) to have the track listing table start out collapsed. Useful for very long lists or pages with several lists. This parameter only takes effect in JavaScript-enabled browsers.
`\|headline=`	An optional headline, to denote sides/disc numbers of an album (e.g., Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, etc.) or in case of some works, special groups or cycles of songs. The default font-weight of the headline is bold. The `{{nobold}}` template can be used to have part or all of the headline appear in the normal font-weight. The headline "Track listing" (without the quotes) is added by default. Use the `headline` option to replace that text where needed.
`\|extra_column=`	Used to both enable and set the header for an additional column to hold per-track information. If this option is not used, no extra column will be shown. Use sparingly, in order to keep the overall column count to a minimum and if the respective type of data is not available for most tracks consider using the `note` fields instead. Some suggested headers: Template:Kbd (compilations), Template:Kbd (cover albums), Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd (remix albums).
`\|total_length=`	Used to display the total length of the record at the bottom of the list. Not necessary in most cases (as that information will usually be covered by an infobox), but useful in some (e.g., releases with a lot of individual discs).
`\|all_writing=` `\|all_lyrics=` `\|all_music=`	Used to display general songwriting credits for the entire record in a note above the track listing. If `all_writing` is supplied, the other two parameters are ignored.
`\|writing_credits=`	Include this parameter with the value Template:Var (i.e., `\|writing_credits=yes`) to turn on a column for track-specific songwriting credits. Avoid redundancy, if all or most songs on a record were written by the same person(s), consider using the `all_writing` option and `note` fields for exceptions. Note that the `writing_credits` option disables the `lyrics_credits` and `music_credits` options.
`\|lyrics_credits=` `\|music_credits=`	Include these parameters with the value Template:Var (i.e. `\|lyrics_credits=yes`) to turn on columns for track-specific lyrics and music credits. Avoid redundancy, if the lyrics or music of most songs on a record can be attributed to the same person(s), consider using the `all_lyrics` and `all_music` options respectively, along with `note` fields for exceptions. Note that the `writing_credits` option disables the `lyrics_credits` and `music_credits` options.
`\|titleTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `title1`, `title2`, etc.) The title of the respective track. Note that a track listing does not have to start with a #1 or continue with 1, 2, 3... order (e.g., for having side B of an LP start at track six or leaving out empty tracks preceding a bonus track). Track names are automatically put into quotes, unless the field is left empty, in which case the track name will display as Template:Samp (without quotes). This is used for when no title is given to a track in any form on the album or media that is officially related to the album.
`\|noteTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `note1`, `note2`, etc.) An optional note to be displayed in parentheses behind the title. Useful for original titles in other languages/scripts (e.g., kanji) or to denote bonus tracks only included in certain editions. Keep notes short. Excessive commentary disrupts the flow of the track listing, which should be easily scannable.
`\|writerTemplate:Var=` `\|lyricsTemplate:Var=` `\|musicTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `writer1`, `writer2`, etc.) Use to denote the writer(s) of the track in general or of the lyrics or music individually. Remember to turn on the desired columns with the parameters ending with `_credits` (see above) and avoid redundancy where possible.
`\|extraTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `extra1`, `extra2`, etc.) Holds the content of the user-set column for the respective track (see `extra_column`).
`\|lengthTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `length1`, `length2`, etc.) The length of the track in a Template:Var formatting (or Template:Var or even Template:Var if particularly long tracks occur). For example: Template:Kbd

Presets

For editing convenience, here are presets for the various possible track listing configurations. While not all presets are that long, the template supports up to 119 tracks in any configuration. Before saving a track listing created with one of these, consider to remove fields that are likely to remain empty in the foreseeable future.

Parameter	Description
`\|collapsed=`	Include this parameter with the value Template:Var (`\|collapsed=yes`) to have the track listing table start out collapsed. Useful for very long lists or pages with several lists. This parameter only takes effect in JavaScript-enabled browsers.
`\|headline=`	An optional headline, to denote sides/disc numbers of an album (e.g., Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd, etc.) or in case of some works, special groups or cycles of songs. The default font-weight of the headline is bold. The `{{nobold}}` template can be used to have part or all of the headline appear in the normal font-weight. The headline "Track listing" (without the quotes) is added by default. Use the `headline` option to replace that text where needed.
`\|extra_column=`	Used to both enable and set the header for an additional column to hold per-track information. If this option is not used, no extra column will be shown. Use sparingly, in order to keep the overall column count to a minimum and if the respective type of data is not available for most tracks consider using the `note` fields instead. Some suggested headers: Template:Kbd (compilations), Template:Kbd (cover albums), Template:Kbd, Template:Kbd (remix albums).
`\|total_length=`	Used to display the total length of the record at the bottom of the list. Not necessary in most cases (as that information will usually be covered by an infobox), but useful in some (e.g., releases with a lot of individual discs).
`\|all_writing=` `\|all_lyrics=` `\|all_music=`	Used to display general songwriting credits for the entire record in a note above the track listing. If `all_writing` is supplied, the other two parameters are ignored.
`\|writing_credits=`	Include this parameter with the value Template:Var (i.e., `\|writing_credits=yes`) to turn on a column for track-specific songwriting credits. Avoid redundancy, if all or most songs on a record were written by the same person(s), consider using the `all_writing` option and `note` fields for exceptions. Note that the `writing_credits` option disables the `lyrics_credits` and `music_credits` options.
`\|lyrics_credits=` `\|music_credits=`	Include these parameters with the value Template:Var (i.e. `\|lyrics_credits=yes`) to turn on columns for track-specific lyrics and music credits. Avoid redundancy, if the lyrics or music of most songs on a record can be attributed to the same person(s), consider using the `all_lyrics` and `all_music` options respectively, along with `note` fields for exceptions. Note that the `writing_credits` option disables the `lyrics_credits` and `music_credits` options.
`\|titleTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `title1`, `title2`, etc.) The title of the respective track. Note that a track listing does not have to start with a #1 or continue with 1, 2, 3... order (e.g., for having side B of an LP start at track six or leaving out empty tracks preceding a bonus track). Track names are automatically put into quotes, unless the field is left empty, in which case the track name will display as Template:Samp (without quotes). This is used for when no title is given to a track in any form on the album or media that is officially related to the album.
`\|noteTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `note1`, `note2`, etc.) An optional note to be displayed in parentheses behind the title. Useful for original titles in other languages/scripts (e.g., kanji) or to denote bonus tracks only included in certain editions. Keep notes short. Excessive commentary disrupts the flow of the track listing, which should be easily scannable.
`\|writerTemplate:Var=` `\|lyricsTemplate:Var=` `\|musicTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `writer1`, `writer2`, etc.) Use to denote the writer(s) of the track in general or of the lyrics or music individually. Remember to turn on the desired columns with the parameters ending with `_credits` (see above) and avoid redundancy where possible.
`\|extraTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `extra1`, `extra2`, etc.) Holds the content of the user-set column for the respective track (see `extra_column`).
`\|lengthTemplate:Var=`	(i.e., `length1`, `length2`, etc.) The length of the track in a Template:Var formatting (or Template:Var or even Template:Var if particularly long tracks occur). For example: Template:Kbd
