The Sandbox pages are pages that are specifically intended for members to experiment or play around with different techniques/formatting or wiki syntax. The idea of a sandbox is a bit less needed given that the Show Preview button allows our members to see their changes before they make them. However, some members like to work on a page for some time before they make it 'live', and as such Wiki sandboxes can prove quite useful.\n

History[edit source]

\n

Historically, such pages were created as a place with fewer policies or regulations. As such, a sandbox may be left relatively untouched for reasons such as not abiding by Manual of Style or not adhering to DB canon. To quote the Wikipedia page on the subject: \"However, they must not be used for malicious purposes, and policies such as no personal attacks, civility, and copyrights (such as non-free content criteria) still apply.\"\n

\n

Creating Your Own Sandbox[edit source]

\n

If you have a username, you can create your own sandbox in your userspace, normally your User:Your-name-here. You can find your user sandbox here if you like links though. (And if it doesn't exist yet, feel free to create it!) For easy access, there is a link labeled \"sandbox\" at the top right of every page between the \"talk\" and \"preferences\" links. \n

If you want more sandboxes then make a page in your userspace and designate it as your sandbox. \n

To create a new sandbox (call it anything, such as 'sandbox2') enter this in the search box, using your actual username:\n
\nUser:Yourname/sandbox\n
\nThen click on the reply you may create the page \"User:Yourname/sandbox\"\n

Unlike your primary sandbox, Wikipedia does not automatically keep a way to link to these, so be sure to bookmark it or otherwise have links on your userpage which go to your other sandboxes.\n

\n

Summoning Wiki Staff[edit source]

\n

And as always, if you need help from the Wikistaff, you can always put NeedHelp between doubled-opening braces { and double closing braces }:\n

\n\n\n\n\n
\n
Help me, Wiki Staff. You're my only hope.
This page is suffering from problems that require the Wiki Staff's attention.
Attach this note to a problematic page so that the Wiki Staff can fix it.\n
\n

Use of this Page[edit source]

\n

If members really need/want to use this area, it is open to being used. The Tribune will just clean it up a bit after you are done using it. Just remember: no malicious uses.\n
