 | This template is new, it needs some more testing before we can fully trust it, so don't use it on any high-risk templates just yet. We might do some changes to it over the next few weeks. --David Göthberg (talk) 21:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC) |
This is the {{test-mode}} template.
It can be used to live-test new versions of templates. It is especially useful for testing meta-templates and sub-templates that might be several steps away from the templates placed on the pages, so we can't call the test versions directly.
This template provides a "test-mode" that makes the meta-templates display their test version instead of the normal version, so we can surf around and see how the test version behaves on real pages. Only the users that want to see the test-mode see it, all other users still see the normal version of the templates.
