ਫਰਮਾ:User sandbox/doc

This template is for placement at the top of sandbox pages in the User namespace so that readers understand it is not an active/live article or Wikipedia project page.

Non-userspace uses of this template are tracked in Category:Non-userspace pages using User sandbox.

It is used by Template:User sandbox/preload, the default text preloaded (by MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox.js) when a user creates their sandbox.

Usage

Basic usage (shown above)

{{user sandbox}}

Plain version

{{user sandbox|plain=yes}}

Complex example

{{user sandbox|Username|plain=all|list=[[Personalization|Custom]] [[WP:USERSUBPAGE|list]] of [[Help:My sandbox|sandboxes]]|selectskin=yes|afc=no|demospace=User}}

Parameters

• The first positional parameter is the username of the editor the sandbox belongs to. This is not necessary if the sandbox is located in that user's userspace.
• plain - this removes most of the extra links. If this is equal to "all", only the basic message is left. If this parameter is present but not equal to "all", the text "For a sandbox of your own, create it here" is still visible.
• list - a list of your user sandboxes can be inserted here. This needs to be done with square brackets, e.g. [[User:Example/Sandbox1]], [[User:Example/Sandbox2]]. Use of this parameter also changes "the sandbox" to "a sandbox". For an automatically-generated list of your sandboxes, you can use {{Special:PrefixIndex}}. For example, if your sandboxes are titled as "sandbox", "sandbox2", etc, you can use list={{Special:PrefixIndex/User:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/sandbox}}.
• a=yes - changes "the sandbox" to "a sandbox", without having to use the "list" parameter above.
• selectskin=yes - a menu appears allowing you to select different skins to use with the sandbox.
• afc=no - the articles for creation text "Finished writing a draft article? Are you ready to request an experienced editor review it for possible inclusion in Wikipedia? [Submit your draft for review!]" is suppressed. This parameter is unnecessary if the |plain= parameter is specified.
• noindex=no - indexing by search engines will be allowed (by default, noindex is "yes", i.e. pages with this template transcluded on them are not indexed by search engines). This parameter should almost always be omitted, because sandboxes should not be indexed as Wikipedia content.
• demospace - if this is set to the name of a Wikipedia namespace, the template acts as if it were transcluded in that namespace no matter what the actual current namespace is. This is useful for demonstration purposes.
