Help:Sandbox

Sandboxes are an extension of User Pages, and are meant to serve as a place where a page can be worked on without being publicly accessible through searches.

Guidelines for Creating Sandboxes

To create a Sandbox page, follow these instructions:

Creating a Basic Sandbox

• Use this link to create a basic sandbox: Special:MyPage/sandbox
• Create the page

Creating a Named Sandbox

• After clicking on the above link, add to the end of the URL the name of the sandbox after a forward slash (/)
  • This will look like User:YourUsername/sandbox/Title
• Create the page

Note that User Pages (as in, the page name starts with the User: prefix) do not count towards the Wanted Pages list, so there is no concern for creating broken links to User Pages. This specifically means links that call for the User: namespace. It does not mean that all links on User Pages are exempt from the Wanted Pages list.

The User: prefix must be included in the link. It is okay to link to User:MyPage/sandbox/Wuthering Heights Butler Meursault but you should not link to Wuthering Heights Butler Meursault.

Note that created subpages will not be inherently visible or have links from your sandbox unless you make them on your user page. You can Search for all subpages by searching for User:Your_Username_Here if you forgot a page name.

Turning a Sandbox Page into a Regular Page

After finishing a page intended for main wiki use created on a Sandbox page, rename the page from User:Username/Sandbox/Page Name to Page Name so that it saves the edit history made to the page, and any contributions made by others. Make sure to change the User prefix to the (Main) prefix. Avoid copying the finalized work and pasting it in a new page, as this loses the edit history.

Guidelines for Fanmade Identities & E.G.O

First of all, please use the Project Moon Fanon Wiki for such projects - this wiki is not designed to host such things while that wiki is specifically geared towards supporting fanmade content. Even on sandboxes, mistakes can be made that effect the way this wiki functions normally, and that is not a concern on the Fanon Wiki.

If you are absolutely insistent that you use this wiki to host your content, please at minimum contribute to the wiki in other ways by editing the main pages. This is not a place to host fanworks. If you still want to use this wiki for such projects, see the following guidelines and follow them strictly to avoid causing additional work for the admins of the wiki or breaking pages.

What to add

The IDPage template has additional arguments that can be used for fan content to keep wanted pages and files from being created.

• |cgtype=placeholder can be used to create a placeholder image rather than no image or a wanted file.
• Adding |notab=true anywhere in an Identity page will prevent pages for voice lines and Identity stories from being created; if you do intend to create pages for a fanmade Identity's voice lines or Identity Story, it's best to still use |notab as the created pages will just be tied to your User page, rather than a specific Sandbox page.
• For Identities from custom Mirror Worlds, add |textworld=true to change the called file into text as to not create a wanted file.

For fanmade E.G.O, if creating non-base E.G.O for an Abnormality that does not currently have a background, add |nobg=true anywhere in the page to avoid the creation of a wanted file.

For custom Panic Types, use the |custompanic and the CustomPanic Template instead of the ususal |panic argument.

For custom status effects, use the CustomStatus Template instead of the StatusEffect template.

What not to add

The categories that appear at the bottom of Identity pages are used to auto-populate navigation boxes across the wiki. For example, placing [[Category:Identities with Ammo]] anywhere on a page will cause the page to appear in the "Ammo" navigation box:

Because of this, very few sandbox pages should have any categories attached, and absolutely no fanmade content pages should, or they will appear to be upcoming releases.

Uploading custom images should be done in moderation, and file names that are likely to be used for real status effects in the game (Such as an unofficial Gluttony Resist Down icon, for example) should be avoided.

Example Code

Below is example code containing the necessary code to create a template identity with tabbers for Identity / voicelines and a table for unique status effects. Feel free to copy the code when creating pages.
