[edit] Ideas for Sandbox
Not sure if this was brought up, but I have decided to create a template for people who post defamatory content in the Wikipedia Sandbox:
Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content that is deemed libelous or defamatory to the Sandbox is not consistent with our Sandbox policy. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
[edit] Adding to this template
Muhammad images? See question at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Muhammad/Images#adding topic to {| class="messagebox" style="width: 100%; background: ivory;" | 
| | The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Error: No topic specified. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read in the #Final decision section of the decision page.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page. |}] Alanscottwalker (talk) 20:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Change Yellowikis link
- (I was redirected here from Template talk:Uw-bizlist)
"Wikia's Yellowikis" site doesn't seem to exist anymore (at least not at that URL). I've changed the link to point to http://wikicompany.org/ .. No objection if someone wants to remove the site suggestion part altogether. -- Ϫ 07:38, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Uw-sandbox
I just happened across the {{uw-sandbox1}} template message series. They are at the moment broken in various ways, but I don't think they are useful in the first place. Opinions?

- They do seem to be overshadowed by other uw templates. However, I was comparing uw-sandbox2 to uw-vand2, which does say "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox." Perhaps that should be clarified? It would be confusing to get a uw-vand2 template telling you go to to the sandbox to make the edits, and then to get a uw-sandbox template for doing exactly what uw-vand2 suggested. I know WP:Sandbox has the message saying "Please do not place copyrighted, offensive, or libelous content in the sandboxes." but it may be overlooked, they may see "Welcome to the sandbox, here's how to edit, blah blah blah" and think "I know how to click Edit, so I don't have to read all this. *skip*" and miss the part about offensive/libelous content. - SudoGhost 19:31, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
