=== Sandbox for experiments ===
{{main|Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases}}
If you wish to experiment with templates (and not have your experiments deleted before you are done with them), you may do so in the [[Template:Template sandbox|Template sandbox]]. You may also use the templates [[Template:X1|X1]], [[Template:X2|X2]], [[Template:X3|X3]], [[Template:X4|X4]], [[Template:X5|X5]], [[Template:X6|X6]], [[Template:X7|X7]], [[Template:X8|X8]], [[Template:X9|X9]], [[Template:X10|X10]], [[Template:X11|X11]], and [[Template:X12|X12]] for experimental purposes. To include a test template, use the form {{tlc|X1}} for template X1, {{tlc|X2}} for template X2, etc.

Existing templates often each have their own [[Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases|sandbox and test case]] pages (especially those that use {{tl|Documentation}}). Changes should be thoroughly tested there before being applied to the main template, in order to prevent unintentional damage to many pages.
