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

There are no native test cases on this page. They are all transcluded from Template:Sfnlink/testcases, and there is no sandbox (Template:Sfnlinknb/sandbox is a redirect). Accordingly, the way to read results of the test cases below differs from a normal testcases page. In particular, the meaning of the green and yellow title bars is different than usual.

Results of each test show the difference between invoking Sfnlinknb and Sfnlink with the identical set of parameters, with "Live" (top invocation of each pair) showing the results of Sfnlinknb, and "Sandbox" showing the results of Sfnlink (labeled '((Sfnlinknb/sandbox))'). Because they normally act differently, most tests below should be topped by a yellow title bar, which normally would indicate a testcase failure, but here only means that the results are different, and you have to examine the actual results to see if it is different in the right way. A green title bar means they act the same, and this should only appear in those tests where the test case passes |nb=yes (or equivalent), or when param |text= is in use, which overrides the action of param |nb=.

With asterisk shortcut for optional param 'article'

These test cases have special execution instructions

These test cases depend on the title of the page they are run on. The title of this page is Template:Sfnlinknb/testcases, but the tests use the shortcut value * for |article= param, which is a wildcard that stands in for the pagename of the associated Talk page. To run these tests, copy the shaded code below, and paste it into the preview window of the indicated talk page.

Test 1 – Paste the following into a new discussion section at Talk:Hermeticism, and hit Preview

Live:
* ((sfnlink|Prophet|2018|article=Hermeticism))
* ((sfnlink|Prophet|2018|article=*))

Sandbox:
* ((sfnlink/sandbox|Prophet|2018|article=Hermeticism))
* ((sfnlink/sandbox|Prophet|2018|article=*))

Cancel out when done.

Expected result: All four link to Hermeticism#CITEREFProphet2018.
