If given permission by a person, are you allowed to edit that person's sandbox? I am helping somebody who is making a football season article in their sandbox and I think it would make it a lot easier.Crystalpalace6810 (talk) 18:38, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Why exactly is "Draft:Sandbox" in draftspace? It just leads to confusion as it makes people think "oh this is the place for me to write my draft" and hten when they go back to work on it more, they find that either the sandbox has been cleared or someone else has added junk to it (yes, junk, as that is what's usually added to the sandbox page). ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 12:57, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Please implement the starter code I put in Module:Sandbox/sandbox. I believe having some starter code would be really helpful for new users who need to get started with testing.

The penultimate (second to last) sentence of the lead ['lede'] section of "Wiki: About the sandbox" says:
For easy access, there is a link labeled "sandbox" at the top right of every page between the Talk and Preferences links.
I think what we might have here, is ... a sentence that used to be true, but now ... things have changed, and it may not be [exactly] true any more.
After reading that sentence, (the one "blockquote"d above) I recalled that some time recently (well ... less than a year ago, iirc) there was some kind of "overhaul" of how pages are displayed, on the English Wiki. (At least, for some users ... such as me.) (I usually use a laptop or desktop PC for Wiki.)
I took a look at some example Wiki pages, (including e.g. my own "User:" page), and I found that:
In my opinion, that sentence that says
For easy access, there is a link labeled "sandbox" at the top right of every page between the Talk and Preferences links.
was WAY more helpful (not to mention "correct") in the past, than it is now.
I am not suggesting "rolling back" the recent "page layout" changes, but IMHO if we are keeping them, then that sentence that is now kinda out-of-date (less "up to date" than I would prefer) should be looked at, and some changes should probably be made to it.
THANKS for listening. Mike Schwartz (talk) 05:18, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Especially in the 2022 Vector skin, the sandbox header is far too big. Barely four lines of text can be visible upon loading the page, compared with 15 lines of boilerplate. Is it any wonder that new users will want to remove the header? This issue of having to scroll the page up and down to save text and see what you have written makes editing Wikipedia seem much more difficult than it needs to be.

Note that merely shortening the header has also been proposed. Mach61 (talk) 14:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Am I allowed to create my own custom wikipedia pages in the sandbox? for custom countries and such, not offensive or promotive in any way. RazorPantherz (talk) 00:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
