Another sandbox whose purpose is completely unclear to me--the editor's few mainspace contributions give me no reason to think the various contents of the sandbox ever led to article improvement. Drmies (talk) 19:34, 17 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Did I miss the memo on Everything One does in One's Sandbox Page Must be Used to Improve Articles Outside of Said Sandbox Page? The way I've always understood this situation is that the sandbox is just a free space for the owner to edit as they please, regardless of whether or not they wish to transfer the information in the sandbox to an actual article. I'm currently using my sandbox as a place to create articles and infoboxes regarding alternate and speculative history, which I screenshot upon completion and share with the users of the community at alternatehistory.com for discussion and entertainment. None of what I have ever put into my sandbox has been transferred to an actual main-space article, and I don't see a reason for treating it in the opposite manner. No other user has to see what I do on my own page, and never will if they don't go out of their way to look at it. Unless I'm misunderstanding what a sandbox is for or what Drmies thinks I'm using it for, I would encourage someone to show me how to keep my sandbox edits hidden if possible, or where I could continue to make Wikipedia-style infoboxes and wikipages (that only get distributed off of the site) without having to use the "inspect element" tool on my browser. I'd rather not lose a couple days of work every time I want to work on a little speculative history project, thanks. EDIT: Upon inspection of Drmies' talk page, and the complaints left by users with similar questions to mine, there's apparently nothing I can about this if I'm not using my user page to contribute to the encyclopedia. I'll let it go, then. GamerBehm (talk) 20:10, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * GamerBehm, the memo is here, WP:NOTWEBHOST. It's always been there. But thank you for making clear that you were in fact using Wikipedia for your own hobby. Perhaps you can consider Wikia. Drmies (talk) 02:46, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP is not a web site for constructing altenate histories.  DGG ( talk ) 22:23, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The complaint about not receiving a memo prohibiting this calls for answers such as Competence is required.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:25, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per the user's own post. Legacypac (talk) 23:56, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
