Scratchpad:Template demo


 * For help, see Help:Shared templates

Sometimes "scary transclusion" works well

 * From w:Template:Boardgame wikis

The most common use is for user pages

 * From w:Template:User:Gil

Images and links come from the wiki where the template is, not the wiki where you're using it

 * From w:Template:Logo

doesn't work and parameters are not passed

 * From w:Template:Percent. The bar would appear pink and blue if the template was local. The Usage instructions should not appear.

Magic words do not work as expected

 * w:Template:Yesbutton ought to provide an edit link to the page it is used on, but here will lead you to editing the template itself.

Templates are cached
Updates may not appear on the wiki where the template is used for some time.
