Template:\sandbox/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:\sandbox.

This page is not a sandbox.

It should not be used for test editing. To experiment, please use the Wikipedia sandbox or your user sandbox.

Usage[change source]

Returns "/sandbox" if the template detects that the page where it is transcluded is a subpage named "sandbox" (i.e. a sandbox page); otherwise it returns nothing.

This can be useful to e.g. switch the version of a template used in its documentation to the version in its sandbox (by replacing {{template name}} on the /doc page with {{template name{{\sandbox}}}}) when that documentation is transcluded on the template's sandbox page.
