I checked out Sandbox, but it shows how to build and play in a sandbox. I have nothing against that, but for refrence for testing, it refers to the sandbox, would a person who just might have been trying out Wikihow’s capabilities want to build a sanbox? In most cases, not. I think we should change the Sandbox to a blank page that people could free lance. Any useful info would be changed into articles, the rest being ignored, or dicarded, if obcescene. The article should be changed to two articles, how to build a sandbox, and how to use a sandbox. What do you think? Please leave feedback.

(should this be moved to wikihow:Sandbox?, and why is it labeled as a FA in search?) http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Sandbox

In a previous revision, someone applied an {{FA}} template, the effect of that is probably lingering in search results. I think keeping it in the article namespace (as opposed to the wikiHow namespace) keeps all the article tools working properly so people can experiment with them. I’m not sure they all work in other namespaces the way they do on article pages.

In the spirit of wikiHow, ANYONE can change the content of the Sandbox page without asking permission on the forums. Be bold.

in fact put a semi-completed article on there so it can be edited to completion and that would also help our stubs because we could, when the article had been edited majorly, moved back into the article section
I don’t think it’s actually intended to teach people how to build a sandbox, it’s just placed as an example of what an actual article would look like- which ultimately is probably better to be testing out as a newbie than a blank page.
