Before committing to a change, one should test it first.
Changes to a page
[რედაქტირება]There is a preview button near the submit button. One should check to make sure that the links are correct and the spelling is correct
Spelling
[რედაქტირება]linuxquestions.org appears to have a spelling checker in their modified version of MediaWiki, one can use Konqueror or Firefox with a spelling check extension to check spelling within the browser window.
Testing features
[რედაქტირება]This applies anyway for tests that depend on settings which are different per project, such as:
- interlanguage links (software feature)
- case-sensitivity of the first character
- character encoding
- enabling of embedding images in other projects and images outside Wikimedia
- MediaWiki:Monobook.css, etc.
- tests depending on other content, such as templates, images
- tests depending on project-specific variables such as namespace prefixes
It can be done:
- in special pages such as ვიკიწიგნები:Sandbox
- on user pages and subpages
- using Preview - this can not be used to test how a change in a page affects another page, such as when changing a template; when used to test editing shortcuts it only shows the rendered webpage, not the new wikitext itself, except for automatic conversion of special characters to their decimal numeric codes.
A test involving variable {{PAGENAME}}, e.g. a link to an image or another page with a name containing {{PAGENAME}}, can be done on the Talk page, since the value of the variable is the same on that page.
Sysops testing the available links and how things work for ordinary logged-in users can log in under another name, or in a project for which they are not a sysop.
Test wiki
[რედაქტირება]An advantage is that is does not interfere with, or clutter, the regular projects. The project may be reset, or history may otherwise be lost, so one has to save elsewhere what one wants to keep.
