[edit] What to do with the test language

Template	Main page	Subpages
no proposal	template + normal content	test project have to be made - you can propose a deletion of this test language on Incubator:Requests for deletions
open or conditional	template + normal content	test project have to be made
approved	template + no content	move to subdomain, delete
rejected	template + normal content	leave it, because there will be a new request maybe - you can propose a deletion of this test language on Incubator:Requests for deletions
old	template + normal content	leave it, because there will be a new request maybe
closed-imported	template + normal content	leave it, because there will be a new request maybe
Wikia	template + no content	move to wikia, delete

the talk page of the main page (Talk:Wp/code) has to be a redirect if there is no content, otherwise add the template both on the main page and the talk page.

[edit] Hiding templates

The main pages of all test projects should have one of these templates on them. It is possible you do not like them, especially on an active test project. So, here it is explained how to hide them.

• Step 1: edit Special:Mypage/monobook.css
• Step 2: copy the following text and add it to that page:
  • To remove *all* templates: .statustemplate { display: none; }

  Note: some pages which contain only such a template, will be empty.

  • To remove the "open or conditional" template: #statustemplate-open { display: none; }
  • To remove the "rejected" template: #statustemplate-rejected { display: none; }
  • To remove the "approved" template: #statustemplate-approved { display: none; }
  • To remove the "old" template: #statustemplate-old { display: none; }
• Step 3: purge your cache:
  • Mozilla / Firefox / Safari: hold down Shift while clicking Reload, or press Ctrl-Shift-R (Cmd-Shift-R on Apple Mac)
  • Internet Explorer: hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5
  • Konqueror: simply click the Reload button, or press F5
  • Opera: users may need to completely clear their cache in Tools→Preferences.
