Talk:Sandbox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have removed previous content from this page. This is not the Wikipedia:Sandbox where users can test their edits.-Mr Adequate 03:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
However, this page needs attention. It needs a link to the sandbox and the 'relief equaled by miliitary leaving' etc needs removal. --Wilfred 18:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Railways
We need separate article on sandboxes on locomotives. It could be called Sandbox (railways). Petri Krohn 20:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:SELF problem
Doesn't the link/comment to the Wikipedia Sandbox violate WP:SELF? --69.204.179.124 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Possibly, but it is needed to direct people correctly. --Falcorian (talk) 22:04, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's linked using a "selfref" template, hence will be automatically removed from any print version, hence is just fine. :) -Quiddity 21:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] double link to wp:sandbox
are the repeated links to wp:sandbox (at the top of the article AND in the middle) there for a reason, or should one of them be removed? just clarifying b4 i make the change... 202.156.6.54 13:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- This page gets used as a test-sandbox a lot, so the redundancy pointing users to the correct location for experimenting doesnt hurt, and is probably useful. --Quiddity 20:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] play
"The sandbox" is a one act play by Edward Albee
is that the correct name?
[edit] Arabic Sandbox
The link for the Arabic sandbox on the Sandbox page links here. Why does it do that? Can someone fix that? -Yancyfry
[edit] It should be protected
People keep coming to this page and vandalizing it. -Stimpy9337 02:49, 12 March 2007
i agree. protection is definetly in order. pretty much every other wiki i see that has an article named sandbox has it protected. the current version is a prime example of why it should be protected and i can't seem to find the revert button. 208.114.180.220 10:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Several points on that: The protection policy states that protection is not to be used as a pre-emptive measure against predictable vandalism (not sure whether I agree, but those are the rules). That said, you can still feel free to nominate this page at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, but understand that it's unlikely to pass their standards. Additionally, the main reason other wikis have it that way is often because they are less well managed (having a low number of administrators who lack the time to focus on reverting vandalism), so they leave such pages in a protected form.
