The testcases have been split into 2 pages due to the two main types of display option (Banner / Box) and to have them all on a single page would give that page long load times.

Test cases_1 – Box style[edit]

Template:Archives/testcases/box

Test cases_2 – Banner style[edit]

Template:Archives/testcases/banner

Test cases 3 – remote testing via ExpandTemplates[edit]

Talk pages having a MiszaBot/config[edit]

We can code tests in ExpandTemplates, and link them url-encoded here, which will provide a testcase embedded in the link and executed at ExpandTemplates, not here. Each one of these tests shows four results, namely a simple call to the live template or the sandbox for the given Talk page, and another pair that calls them with |banner=yes:

Test Template:Archives in the context of the following Talk pages which use MiszaBot/config:

• Test 1: Talk:France – expect 90 days, minthreads = 4
• Test 2: Talk:Muammar Gaddafi – expect 90 days, minthreads = 4
• Test 3: Talk:Physics – expect 60 days
• Test 4: Talk:Noam Chomsky – expect 45 days, minthreads = 3
• Test 5: Talk:Mustang – expect 61 days
• Test 6: User talk:Aaron Liu/sandbox – expect:
  • test 6a: 418d
  • test 6b: ~95d/2278h, minthreads = 2

Talk pages having a Cluebot config[edit]

Errors in this bunch have to do somehow with the urlencoding; by pasting these tests into Special:ExpandTemplates they work fine. Instead, paste the following into ExpandTemplates:

===Live===
Live: {{Archives}}
{{clear}}

===Sandbox===
{{Archives/sandbox}}
{{clear}}

===Live +banner ===
{{Archives|banner=yes}}
{{clear}}

===Sandbox +banner ===
{{Archives/sandbox|banner=yes}}

and choose one of the Talk page names below for the Context title to generate a pair of results per TP name; compare the two to see the effects of the sandbox changes compared to live.

• Test 1: Talk:The Exorcist – expect 30 days/720hours, minthreads = 4

• Test 2: Talk:List of colors – expect 7.5d/183h, minthreads = 4

• Test 3: Talk:Toronto – expect 60d/1440h

• Test 4: Talk:Switzerland – expect 120d/2880h, minthreads = 5

• Test 5: Talk:Macedonia – expect 90d/2160 minthreads = 4

• Test 6: User talk:Aaron Liu – expect:
  • test 6a: 30d/720h minthreads = 2
  • test 6b: ~95d/2278h

These are some tests designed for use from the doc page; transcludedd here for convenience and visibility.
