Note about redirects, sandboxes and drafts
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! It may not be what you meant to do, but with you made Tutorial/Formatting/sandbox into a redirect to your page Field Tracing, so anyone trying to visit the sandbox from Tutorial/Formatting over the last few days was sent there instead. That's not what they would have expected. I've sorted out the sandbox now. When you're editing those, please don't edit above the introductory header. That can lead to unintended consequences and means the bots that rake the sandboxes won't clean it up.

For drafting your next article, some approaches to consider include: using your own sandbox, using Article wizard, or (what I tend to do), linking to e.g. Draft:Your next article from your user page, then editing there. That has the advantage that you can save your draft and come back later without anyone else being likely to interfere. If you tried to do the same in a public sandbox, it would get cleared out automatically at some point, or someone else would replace the content with whatever they were trying to test.

Once you have a version you like, you can publish it yourself by moving the page (better than copy-pasting the content, because you preserve the edit history), or submit it using Articles for creation to get a second opinion.

I hope that helps. Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page (or ask the Teahouse, which has always been helpful to me). Mortee (talk) 01:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
