== Testing a new unit == To test a ''newly added'' unit not used on any page, you will need to run the preview on a sandbox page you have already created. Here are all the test cases you can preview there before saving your changes here; they are the four {{para|u}} parameters: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{Val|9|u = }} {{Val|9|ul = }} {{Val|9|u=foo|up = }} {{Val|9|u=foo|upl = }} </syntaxhighlight> and the [[Help:Table#Sortable_tables|sortable table]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {| class="wikitable sortable" summary="Sortable table to test Val sorting" ! Val number and unit |- | {{val|5|u= }} |- | {{val|3|u= }} |- | {{val|1|u= }} |- | {{val|2|u= }} |- | {{val|4|u= }} |} </syntaxhighlight> This table falls into place unsorted, so when your unit accepts an [[SI prefix]] you can test, say, k, m, and G, with your unit, and compare with e notations 1e3, 1e6, and 1e9 in the number. For example, Val sorts these two as equal: <code>1e3 m</code> (standard [[scientific notation#E notation|e notation]]) and <code>1 km</code>. ;What to look for: * The linked and non-linked markup should look exactly the same. * Navigate to the new link. It is safe: you can go back in your browser to here. * The two {{para|up}} versions should have no space in front of them. * For SI prefixes sorting 2e3 (or 2000) should be greater than k (kilo prefix).
