Module:Random/testcases

This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Module:Random. 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.
