Before commiting to a change, one should test it first.

Changes to a page

There is a preview button near the submit button. One should check to make sure that the links are correct and the spelling is correct

Testing features of existing software on one of the regular projects

This applies anyway for tests that depend on settings which are different per project, such as:

• case-sensitivity of the first character
• character encoding
• enabling of embedding images in other projects and images outside Wikimedia
• MediaWiki:Monobook.css, etc.
• tests depending on other content, such as templates, images
• tests depending on project-specific variables such as namespace prefixes

It can be done:

• in special pages such as Sandbox
• on your user page and subpages
• using Preview - this can not be used to test how a change in a page affects another page, such as when changing a template; it only shows the rendered webpage, not the new wikitext itself, except for automatic conversion of special characters to their decimal numeric codes.

A test involving variable {{PAGENAME}}, e.g. a link to an image or another page with a name containing {{PAGENAME}}, can be done on the Talk page, since the value of the variable is the same on that page.
