FAMEPedia:About the Sandbox

Sandboxes, like FAMEPedia:Sandbox, are pages designed for testing and experimenting with wiki syntax and the VisualEditor.

They were created as a place with fewer rules and policies than other pages on FAMEPedia. For example, you don't have to follow the Manual of Style or reach community consensus before making a major change. 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.

If you have an account, you can create your own sandbox in your userspace. You can find your user sandbox [ here]. If you don't have an account, you can create your sandbox [ here]. (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. You can also put My sandbox on your userpage.

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

To create a new sandbox (call it anything, such as "sandbox2") enter this in the search box, using your actual username: User:Yourname/sandbox2 Then click on the reply "Start the User:Yourname/sandbox2 page."

Unlike your primary sandbox, FAMEPedia 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.

List of sandboxes

 * FAMEPedia:Sandbox, which cannot be used with VisualEditor.
 * Draft:Sandbox, for testing with VisualEditor. It can be activated with VisualEditor by following [//en.FAMEPedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Sandbox&veaction=edit this link].
 * FAMEPedia talk:Sandbox, and the talk pages of all other sandboxes, for testing talk page techniques.
 * User:Sandbox, for testing in the user space.
 * Template sandbox and X1 through X52 exist for testing Template-space techniques.
 * Module:Sandbox, for creating and testing pages with the scribunto content model, which can only be created in the module namespace.
 * TemplateStyles sandbox, for creating and testing pages with the sanitized-css content model, which can only be created in the template namespace.
 * Sandboxes in other languages can be found in a list on the lower left of FAMEPedia Sandbox. Although using sandboxes in other languages may be useful on certain occasions, it is important to keep in mind that, unless interwiki links are used, each Sandbox can only access the links, images, and templates on the FAMEPedia in which it is located.
 * Your user sandbox, a personal place to test your editing skills in your own userspace.
