==Not Wiki Sandbox== |
|||
I have removed previous content from this page. This is not the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] where users can test their edits.-[[User:Mr Adequate|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 military leaving' etc needs removal. --[[User:Whjudoka|Wilfred]] 18:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC) |
|||
I'm thinking of changing the text in the editing box , so it advices new users only to go to the page http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox to keep it simple [[User:Logictheo|Logictheo]] ([[User talk:Logictheo|talk]]) 11:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== Ahem, did we forget something here? == |
|||
I gotta tell you, I'm absolutely amazed at the content of this page. |
|||
I look at [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sandbox Dictionary.com] for "sandbox", and ''there'' I got no surprises. |
|||
*The first listing is from ''Random House unabridged'', and there is only one definition: |
|||
#a box or receptacle for holding sand, esp. one large enough for children to play in. |
|||
*The second listing is from ''American Heritage Dictionary''; there are only two definitions: |
|||
#A low box filled with sand for children to play in. |
|||
#A litter box, especially for a cat. |
|||
*The third listing is from WordNet (which I've never heard of); it also has two definitions: |
|||
#mold consisting of a box with sand shaped to mold metal |
|||
#a plaything consisting of a pile of sand or a box filled with sand for children to play in |
|||
Only when you come to the ''fourth source'', which happens to be ''The Online Dictionary of Computing'', do we come to any of the definitions that our page features, namely, all this technical stuff. I'm glad that this isn't a prominent page, because it really looks dumb that no one editing Wikipedia knows what "normal" people think that a sandbox is. |
|||
This page is properly catergorized as a disambiguation page. Pending discussion, I plan to move this to [[Sandbox (diambiguation)]] and immediately afterwards create a nice little stub at [[Sandbox]] talking about what a ''normal'' sandbox is. There can be no doubt that, for 90% of the population (keep in mind, Wikipedian editors are not average), ''that'' should be the landing page for Sandbox, with an appropriate disambig notice and link at the top of that page. [[User:Unschool|Unschool]] 07:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:lol. We do that sort of thing a lot, actually, make articles on everything but normal life. --[[User:tjstrf|tjstrf]] <small>[[User talk:tjstrf|talk]]</small> 19:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::Sounds like a good idea. I stumbled upon this page and I noticed it was missing the most important thing, an article about the sandbox itself, the commonly known one for kids. [[User:KnightLago|KnightLago]] 01:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:::Yeah, strange... I just came across this now.. I was astonished that the main def was missing. Maybe it got deleted at some point. I didn't check the history. Anyway, no one had yet put anything in as of today, so I stuck something in there quickly in my own words. Feel free to change/improve it. I just mentioned that it's a kid thing, and a metaphor, and put in a red-link so hopefully someone will make a proper page for it. If one of you does, I suggest also putting in a { template } to request a photo of a typical kids sandbox. Incidentally, does anyone know whether these are common around the world, or a suburban american thing. I would guess they're all over. [[User:DKEdwards|DKEdwards]] 04:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:::: Well, I just figured it out (wish someone would have explained it in the week I've been waiting for responses to this post). This article that we've been looking for is at [[sandpit]]; if only someone had placed a link to it on this page (and retitled this page a disambig page) this might have been clearer before I messed this up with my attempted moves. I'm trying to fix it now. [[User:Unschool|Unschool]] 02:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
==Railways== |
|||
We need there to be a separate article on sandboxes that concern topics about [[locomotives]]. It could be called [[Sandbox (railways)]]. [[User:Petri Krohn|Petri Krohn]] 20:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:I agree, so I have created it. --[[User:Falcorian|Falcorian]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:Falcorian|(talk)]]</small></sup> 03:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC) |
|||
== WP:SELF problem == |
|||
Doesn't the link/comment to the Wikipedia Sandbox violate [[WP:SELF]]? --[[User:69.204.179.124|69.204.179.124]] 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:Possibly, but it is needed to direct people correctly. --[[User:Falcorian|Falcorian]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:Falcorian|(talk)]]</small></sup> 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. :) -[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 21:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC) |
|||
==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... [[User:202.156.6.54|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. --[[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] 20:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC) |
|||
==play== |
|||
"The sandbox" is a one act play by Edward Albee |
|||
is that the correct name? |
|||
== Arabic Sandbox == |
|||
The link for the Arabic sandbox on the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] page links here. Why does it do that? Can someone fix that? -[[User:Yancyfry jr|Yancyfry]] |
|||
==It should be protected== |
|||
People keep coming to this page and vandalizing it. -[[User:Stimpy9337|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. [[User:208.114.180.220|208.114.180.220]] 10:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Several points on that: The [[Wikipedia:protection policy|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. <math>\sim</math> [[User:Lenoxus|Lenoxus]] [[User talk:Lenoxus|" * "]] 21:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC) |

|||
::::::In any case, I disagree. It will make the page more organized and more readable if they are headlined, as with all other disambig pages. Actually, the current format is required only in some pages, but in this case it isn't. The current format is only required when bluelinks are required in section headings, because headlines can not have bluelinks.[[User:Asrghasrhiojadrhr|Asrghasrhiojadrhr]] ([[User talk:Asrghasrhiojadrhr|talk]]) 05:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC) |

::::::: Feel free to disagree. But I think the current layout is fine, and there's no need to clutter it up, so you have neither MOS nor consensus for a change.

::::::::Just adding agreement with Zsero -- section headers instead of group headers are unneeded and detrimental to this page. -- [[User:JHunterJ|JHunterJ]] ([[User talk:JHunterJ|talk]]) 02:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC) |
