English: PDF version of MediaWiki Users Guide from English Wikiboooks This file was created with MediaWiki to LaTeX . The LaTeX source code is attached to the PDF file (see imprint).
The /sandbox may not have the latest version of the template code in it, so before you make a change, you need to synchronize it with the main template. Copy the entire contents of the main template to the /sandbox subpage, and save the page. Your edit summary should be something like "synchronize with the main template", or simply "sync".
To get there, type "Template:foo" in the search box (see search), or make a wikilink like [[Template:foo]] somewhere, such as in the sandbox, and click on it. Once you are there, just click "edit" or "edit this page" at the very top of the page (not the documentation edit button lower down) and edit it in the same way that you would any other page.

This is the Guide to Scribbling. Scribbling, also known as Luafication, is the act of writing a template, or converting a template, so that it uses the Scribunto extension to MediaWiki . The Scribunto extension [ a ] was developed by Tim Starling and Victor Vasiliev , and allows for embedding scripting languages in MediaWiki.
The general, non-MediaWiki Lua reference manual can—while being very well written, comprehensive, and informative—be problematic for beginners, because certain features don't work in Wikipedia—beginning with print(), which appears in standard Lua "hello world" programs.
There is also an API sandbox for those wanting to test api.php's features. Special:Export can be used to obtain bulk export of page content in XML form. See Manual:Parameters to Special:Export for arguments; Status: Built-in feature of MediaWiki, available on all Wikimedia servers.
