Sandboxes are a kind of page that can be created by any user to draft a new article or experiment with code. In the former case, sanboxes are a collaborative means of ironing out a new page before it is ready for public view.

Creating a new sandbox

Sandbox titles are arranged in the format User:USERNAME/Sandbox/TITLE, where USERNAME is the name of the user creating it and TITLE is the sandbox's desired name.

Like any article, sandboxes can be created in several ways; this includes searching the sandbox's full title in the search bar to the top left and pressing "Go", or entering the new page's URL in to your browser's search bar: https://wikizilla.org/wiki/User:USERNAME/Sandbox/TITLE. Alternatively, the box below can be used to create a new sandbox directly. Simply replace "USERNAME" and "TITLE" with your username and the page's title, then click "Create page."

Sandboxes in development

A list of sandboxes in progress can be found at the link above. If you create a new sandbox to draft an article, you may add it there, though please note that any such page is subject to deletion.

Public sandbox

Main article: Wikizilla:Sandbox.

A dedicated sitewide sandbox is hosted at Wikizilla:Sandbox. If for some reason you do not feel it necessary to create your own sandbox, this one can be used for quick experimentation.
