Hello, I'm Isarra (HG). I noticed that you recently made an edit to Keyboard layout that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. -— Isarra (HG) ༆ 17:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Keyboard layout with this edit, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ///EuroCarGT 17:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Isarra (HG), of course it worked! And, here's the reason that it was added, in the first place. The length of the Keyboard_layout article is not insignificant, and it was not possible to scale the output of the browser's rendering engine to have printed output produced on a separate page for the East Asian languages section, which did not include the previous section (Morocco) material; via mere scaling manipulations in the browser. Thus, it is necessary to insert a break in the source script, after the previous section (Morocco) to achieve the intent. However, completing the task was the aim, and not necessarily becoming a Wikimarkup expert at the time. Insertion of the {{break}} was not disallowed, and served the purpose, so it didn't seem that there was anything nefarious being done. But, the addition was flagged and there hadn't been any  left. Apparently it would have been more better to have inserted a {{Template:Break}}, or [[Template:Break]] instead. But, what I really was really trying to get added was a directive that would have mandated a section break (i.e. page break) instead. Thus, the update was a considered modification, and not a blinking test edit; which will be added whenever sensible. Odoncaoa (talk) 22:57, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
