i love the sandbox

how did it get so awesome? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.104.32.5 (talk) 21:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Because of editors just like you. :-) Graham87 06:08, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

i like the sandbox too. this is my first wikipedia edit. i am just testing. i hope i am in the right place. manuel -- Preceding unsigned comment added by Olebrussels (talk o contribs) 11:19, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you're in the wrong place. The correct place for testing is the actual Wikipedia sandbox. Graham87 14:59, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

How does one go about getting his/her sandbox deleted? GoodDay (talk) 21:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Inappropriate picture

When I left the sandbox I was greeted by a photograph of someone's butt-hole. Was that necessary? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.164.146.3 (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Where did you go when you left the sandbox? That sort of thing can sometimes happen, but it's usually undone quickly. Graham87 09:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor Not Included?

Despite being promoted, no viable option for using "VisualEditor" is noticeable in the sandbox page -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.228.47 (talk) 01:36, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

There's an "Edit page visually" button. Graham87 09:11, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sandbox vs Draft:sandbox

Since both Markup editing and visual editing are possible in Draft:sandbox, is there any reason (other than legacy) to retain Wikipedia:Sandbox? I might be sensible to just redirect all traffic over to Draft:sandbox so as to have the one page. This also solves the issue over confusion that Wikipedia:Sandbox only has an "edit source" tab. What do people think? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 04:47, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't know; it could be argued that there should be a place to test out the behaviour of the Wikipedia namespace itself (no new section links, no VisualEditor). But if you'd like to take this further, it would need to be advertised more widely, at a place like the proposals village pump. Graham87 05:11, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Graham. I see what you mean about a WP namespace. I'd therefore suggest keeping the original WP:sandbox active, but not as the default, as I miagine that the majority of sandbox users aren't specifically using it to test WP:namespace-specific markup. I'll put something up at the village pump and see what the general feeling is though! T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 23:05, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Some pervert tried to add a crappy CGI porn image

Yeah. When I visited the sandbox, a poorly-made CGI porn image of a threesome between one (1) guy and two (2) girls appeared - an example of misuse of the sandbox. I didn't look at the entirety of the image, and the offending edits have since been deleted from existence. Your thoughts? 197.164.182.64 (talk) 07:57, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

It happens sometimes. Editors try to revert it as soon as it happens, but sometimes they don't catch it before newer users see it. Graham87 16:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Sandbox drafts automatically reviewed?

Why did my draft in my sandbox was submitted for review? Isn't sandbox supposed to experiment Wikipedia editing however we want? Now I have a message declining my draft, and it says: Do not remove this line!Laurianna2 (talk) 04:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Because this edit of yours added the {{AFC submission}} template. Feel free to remove it because it's in your userspace. Graham87 16:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sandbox requested edit

I have no idea how to change the template that is visible at WP:SANDBOX, but it should have a line saying something like: "If you are looking for your sandbox, you can find the link to it in the top right corner, between your talk page notifications and the preferences. If you want to learn more about your sandbox, visit Help:My sandbox." --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

@Piotrus: The template you want is {{Sandbox heading}}, which already mentions the user sandbox, but doesn't link to the help page. It's probably best to place an edit request on that template's talk page. Graham87 14:39, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Changing the name of the Sandbox

Hi, Just wondering if there was any way to change the name of the Sandbox (i.e. change the title displayed at the top of the page). -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.5.185 (talk) 02:37, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Nope, there isn't. Graham87 14:36, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Misleading how-to instructions for sandbox at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandbox?veaction=edit&action=edit

Hello Wikipedians, I've just checked out the sandbox at the above URL, which in the body text says 'To edit this sandbox, you can either edit the source code ("Edit Source" tab above) or use VisualEditor ("Edit" tab above).'

However, neither of the above-mentioned tabs appear at the top of that page. That said, there are buttons marked "Edit Source Code" and "Edit page visually" beneath those instructions.

Can this be tidied up, so that things are more intuitive for intending editors like me?

Ta! Ken.

Deleting and re-creating Draft:Sandbox

Does anyone object if I delete Draft:Sandbox, and re-create it as a different user? I keep getting useless speedy deletion nominations (as a result of other people's content), since I am the creator and it's a test page. Mattflaschen - Talk 18:46, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

My sympathies :) You will not be able to delete the sandbox as more than 5,000 revisions requires bigdelete, which can only be done by a steward. The recreation will need to be timed with military precision. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:56, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
As an admin who restored old sandbox revisions to make Wikipedia:Historical archive/Sandbox among others, I strongly object to the deletion of thousands of edits. It would be OK however to move it to an archive subpage with your alternative account and re-create it. Graham87 01:50, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

How can I delete my own sandbox?

I've made a sandbox for a future article, I discovered an existing article Samsung Galaxy S8, so I want to delete my sandbox for that article. Click here to see the sandbox I want to delete (WARNING: It's not the main sandbox, it's a subpage called GalaxyS8). Is there some administrator that can delete the sandbox? TheWikiContributor (talk) 00:28, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

It's already deleted. Vanjagenije (talk) 09:00, 18 March 2017 (UTC)



Question

What is the logic there Wikipedia:Sandbox and Draft:Sandbox ? 212.39.89.15 (talk) 12:45, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:About the Sandbox#Specialized sandboxes. Wikipedia:Sandbox is the traditional place for test edits. However, the Visual Editor is not enabled on pages with the "Wikipedia:" prefix, so another sandbox was created that can be used for tests with the new editor. -- John of Reading (talk) 13:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you.212.39.89.102 (talk) 15:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Sandbox is a bit of a relic, Draft:Sandbox is more versatile. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 23:39, 26 March 2017 (UTC)



Just a question

Is it acceptable for an established user such as myself to use the sandbox and test out formatting and such? I realise the purpose of the sandbox is to give new/unregistered users a place to experiment, but the page does say verbatim that "any user can edit this page"; I'm just curious as to whether it's acceptable or frowned upon for someone like me to still test out markup and templates.

Thank you,

65HCA7 12:36, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Sure. Go ahead. Graham87 14:54, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
As a registered user, you can also creae your own personal sandbox. If you are logged in, you can access your personal sandbox ("Sandbox" link at the very top of the page, next to your user name). This gets rid of he problem caused by regular clearing of the sandbox (your work in your sandbox would ordinarily be left alone for an indefinite period of time) 7&6=thirteen (?) 14:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC)



Redirect sandbox to Draft:Sandbox?

Should we redirect the Wikipedia sandbox to Draft:Sandbox? It makes more sense because it is more useful, since you get to use both VisualEditor and the regular source code editor. Ups and Downs (?) 01:01, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Already discussed above at Wikipedia_talk:About_the_Sandbox#Wikipedia:Sandbox_vs_Draft:sandbox. User:GKFXtalk 19:28, 3 September 2017 (UTC)



Edit request

The page Draft talk:Sandbox currently redirects to Draft:Sandbox. This is not terribly helpful since it means that clicking on the "Talk" tab on Draft:Sandbox doesn't do anything. The redirect should instead point at WT:Sandbox, since that page is useful as a talk page sandbox, and has a clear link to this real talk page. User:GKFXtalk 19:36, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Sounds sensible to me. Done. Graham87 10:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Sandbox?

I tried to go to the sandbox, but just got sent to a page called draft:sandbox instead. what is this, and where did the other sandbox go? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.59.8 (talk) 01:04, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
