Sandbox location
Hi Rittenhouseb21. I see you created a sandbox for yourself here: Template:Brian Rittenhouse sandbox. Pages on wikipedia which start with "Template:" are special on wikipedia. They denote a place where users can write code that helps articles work the way we expect them to. For instance, a citation template like Cite web lives at Template:Cite web and has special meaning when it is linked to on a page. Since the content there is already in your default sandbox, I'm going to have that page deleted so it doesn't confuse another editor if they stumble upon it. I wanted to let you know first because you may receive some scary looking automated messages about a page being deleted and I don't want those to give you the impression you've done anything really wrong. :) Please let me know if you have any questions or need a hand with anything else. Also, if you want to create a new sandbox for some specific purpose (e.g. a draft of an article on Flamingos), you can create one at User:Rittenhouseb21/Flamingo. Thanks.
