User:John Cummings/Experiments/Sandbox Organiser Plan

Problem statement
Many people have lots and lots of sandboxes which are hard to find and organise

Solution
Make something to help keep people's workspaces on Wikipedia/Wikidata etc organised

First version

 * Ask Facebook for common uses of sandboxes
 * Make some folders
 * Make a button for making new drafts
 * Ask Facebook for feedback
 * Are there any tools that can help easily move lots of pages to a new directory?
 * Change whole page fonts to FreeSans, Gill Sans MT, GillSansSA, Calibri, sans-serif
 * CHange Wikimedia icons to square ones

Design
Design based on an OS app menu, with full list of 'apps' and a favourites bar, could be in grid or in lines



Apps and folders

 * Folders: A link that links through to a list of pages of a certain 'type' eg article, make it easy for people to create new pages in that folder


 * Apps/widgets: Treat each thing as an app which can be moved to favourites and people to create 'apps' for other people to copy into their sandboxes

Folders

 * Draft article with easy to make pages in that space

Apps/Widgets
Can be either new things or just bring in those little tools from people's user pages


 * Favourites
 * Notes
 * Links to sandboxes on other Wikimedia projects
 * Feedback on number of views of articles you've created
 * Number of articles you've created
 * List of chat pages you can customise for various Wikiprojects and Village pump things
