This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Template:Sfn. 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:

Due to the way ((testcase)) and <ref> work, these test cases will always incorrectly report that the test cases don't match, even when they do. However, you can inspect the HTML code yourself to verify that they match except for unimportant ID information. Don't forget to check the Notes, and make sure that the wikilinks in that section link properly to Sources.
