Template:Dfn/testcases

This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Template:Dfn. Purge this page to update the examples.
If there are many examples of a complicated template, later ones may break due to limits in MediaWiki; see the HTML comment "NewPP limit report" in the rendered page.
You can also use Special:ExpandTemplates to examine the results of template uses.
You can test how this page looks in the different skins and parsers with these links:

Some wording from the docs with test cases

If there would be a "=" (equals sign) in the term, either a) both unnamed parameters if present must explicitly be numbered:

Live: {{dfn|1=E=MC²|2=Mass–energy equivalence}} which results in: E=MC²

Sandbox: {{dfn|1=E=MC²|2=Mass–energy equivalence}} which results in: E=MC²

or b) the character itself can be escaped as the HTML character entity reference code = or the {{=}} template:

Live:

{{dfn|E=MC²|Mass–energy equivalence}} which results in: E=MC²

{{dfn|E{{=}}MC²|Mass–energy equivalence|title=E=MC²}} which results in: E=MC²

Sandbox:

{{dfn|E=MC²|Mass–energy equivalence}} which results in: E=MC²

{{dfn|E{{=}}MC²|Mass–energy equivalence|title=E=MC²}} which results in: E=MC²

For technical reasons, the second parameter (|2=, the definition) is more "brittle". The equals sign (=) must be escaped by one of the techniques just mentioned, and the standard keyboard (straight, not curly) double-quotation mark (") must also be escaped, no matter what, as " or ". This double-quote must also be escaped the same way in the |title= parameter:

Live:

{{dfn|1=ACT UP's slogan|2="Silence = Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|ACT UP's slogan|"Silence {{=}} Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|ACT UP's slogan|"Silence = Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|"Teenage Wasteland"{{sic}}|title="Baba O'Riley"}} which results in: "Teenage Wasteland" [sic]

{{dfn|Mac OS X Lion|title=Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"}} results in: Mac OS X Lion

Sandbox:

{{dfn|1=ACT UP's slogan|2="Silence = Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|ACT UP's slogan|"Silence {{=}} Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|ACT UP's slogan|"Silence = Death"}} which results in: ACT UP's slogan

{{dfn|"Teenage Wasteland"{{sic}}|title="Baba O'Riley"}} which results in: "Teenage Wasteland" [sic]

{{dfn|Mac OS X Lion|title=Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"}} results in: Mac OS X Lion

...

Linked version:

Live:

[[Mass–energy equivalence|{{dfn|1=E=MC²|2=Mass–energy equivalence; E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum|title=E=MC&sup2;}}]]

gives:

E=MC²

Sandbox:

[[Mass–energy equivalence|{{dfn/sandbox|1=E=MC²|2=Mass–energy equivalence; E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum|title=E=MC&sup2;}}]]

gives:

E=MC²

It still has a dotted underline indicating a tooltip, but is also a bluelink. Mouse hovering shows both the tooltip and, in the status bar, the target URL, in browsers that support these features.

Link inside the {{dfn}}:

Live:

{{dfn|1=[[Mass–energy equivalence|E=MC²]]|2=Mass–energy equivalence; E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum|title=E=MC&sup2;}}

results in:

E=MC²

Sandbox:

{{dfn/sandbox|1=[[Mass–energy equivalence|E=MC²]]|2=Mass–energy equivalence; E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum|title=E=MC&sup2;}}

results in:

E=MC²

This doesn't mess up the page, but the description fails and there's no tooltip cursor, meanwhile the markup is hard for other editors to understand anyway so it is deprecated.
