Welcome to the sandbox portal, a space to experiment with the process of creation and editing articles of the HandWiki encyclopedia of science an computing. Here you can create drafts of articles and test them using the same environment as in the official HandWiki. Please read How to edit Handwiki. One can also copy wikicode from HandWiki to Sandbox, and make modifications.
- This sandbox does not require registration, but it records the IP address.
- Use it to create new articles, or edit wikicode after copying this code from HandWiki to this Sandbox
- Articles in sandbox are not indexed by search engines (not useful for spammers!).
- Draft articles can include HandWiki categories, templates and can make internal links to 419,142 titles of existing articles-placeholders.
- Articles in sandbox can be modified by other editors.
- The content of HandWiki sandbox is available under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license (unless otherwise noted by the authors).
- Regularly save your sandbox article using the menu "ZWI export" (at top-right) to download ZWI file.
Once you are happy with your draft, you can upload it to HandWiki without any modification.
If you are not a HandWiki user, your drafts will be moved to HandWiki by registered users. One can significantly speed up this process by donating to the HandWiki project (20$ or more recommended) and mentioning the URL to your SandBox article. Your article will be corrected, extended and included to the main HandWiki page.
If you think that your article is not written in the encyclopedic style, create a blog for HandWiki blogs.
