From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some text [1] simply [clarification needed] to spectacularly[peacock prose] create the page.[2]

A reference I need to add to an article[3]

An OED one.[4]

A link to Wikipedia:content removal#reasons

And one to Wikipedia:content removal#Reasons, to see whether the capitalisation matters.

As of February 2023, I haven't used the {{as of}}[5] template before. I see it capitalises the phrase regardless of whether its name is capitalised, but |alt=[6] can be used before the date to rephrase it. On March 20th, 2024 I am [needs update] trying out the {{update after}} template.

Pronunciations[edit]

Testing whether IPA that isn't yet displaying correctly in an article is in fact correct. UK: /ˈʃrɜːdɪŋə, ˈʃrdɪŋə/—It isn't. The <əː> is appearing as a reversed <ε> instead.

Not working in a article, at least in the app: pronounced [ˈuːɐ̯ʃpʁaːxə]

Template tryout[edit]

Template created at {{user:Musiconeologist/temptest}}. Getting that to display required the {{tlu}} template.

Here is the output with a parameter value, an empty value, and no value:

  • This is a fairly useful test template.
  • This is a test template.
  • This is a defaultly described test template.

Now treating |verb= the same way:

  • This might be a test template.
  • This a test template.
  • This is a test template.

Testing |tense=

  • This is a test template. This sentence was in past tense as set by |tense=past.
  • This is a test template. This sentence is in present tense as set by |tense=present.
  • This is a test template. This sentence will be in future tense as set by |tense=future.

Table tryout[edit]

For the cosine error article. I need some padding between the columns.

Angle Error Equivalent to
10° 1.5% = 1 part in 66
0.015% = 1 part in 6,600
0.1° 0.00015% = 1 part in 660,000
0.01° 0.0000015% = 1 part in 66,000,000

Long line of code[edit]

Soft spaces before | characters:

[[File:Name|Type|Border|Location|Alignment|Size|link=Link|alt=Alt|page=Page|lang=Langtag|Caption]].

Soft spaces after | characters:

[[File:Name|Type|Border|Location|Alignment|Size|link=Link|alt=Alt|page=Page|lang=Langtag|Caption]].

Conclusion: breaking after the | is far better. Each line looks incomplete, and each item is visibly intact.

Picture[edit]

For the English Havmannen article.

"Havmannen", a sculpture made from Arctic granite in 1995 by the English sculptor Antony Gormley.

Linking between Wikipedias[edit]

This should link to a Norwegian article and then to the English one. The code for the Norwegian version has :nb: before the usual link. Pleased to see it also works with
