Scribunto Testing Area

This is not an actual Lua module. It exists to provide a convenient pseudo-namespace for code testing, hopefully preventing the main Module: namespace from becoming littered with experiments, as Lua modules cannot exist as subpages in the User: namespace.

Please name your experimental modules in the following format to help keep things tidy:

Module:Sandbox/Your User Name/Module name

You can use Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Sandbox to list modules in this area.

The above documentation is transcluded from Module:Sandbox/doc. (edit | history)
Editors can experiment in this module’s sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages.
Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this module.
