Expanding existing article
If your are expanding an existing article you have to edit it and copy-paste the content of your sandbox.

Creating a new article
There are two ways to create a new article.

Moving your sandbox
If you are an autoconfirmed user you might move your sandbox yourself by using the "Move" button you will find near the other labels. If you are and autoconfirmed user you will find it on the right of the "watchlist star".

In the move page:
