Template:User sandbox/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:User sandbox (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is for placement at the top of sandbox pages in the User namespace so that readers understand it is not an active/live article or Festipedia project page.
Non-userspace uses of this template are tracked in Category:Non-userspace pages using User sandbox.
Usage[edit]
- Basic usage (shown above)
{{user sandbox}}
- All parameters
{{user sandbox|Username|list=Custom list of sandboxes|selectskin=yes|noindex=yes|demospace=User}}
 | This is a user sandbox of Username. A user sandbox is a subpage of the user's user page. It serves as a testing spot and page development space for the user and is not an encyclopedia article. Create or edit your own sandbox here. This user's sandboxes: Custom list of sandboxes |
Parameters[edit]
- The first positional parameter is the username of the editor the sandbox belongs to. This is not necessary if the sandbox is located in that user's userspace.
- list - a list of your user sandboxes can be inserted here. This needs to be done with square brackets, e.g.
[[User:Example/Sandbox1]], [[User:Example/Sandbox2]]. - selectskin - if this is set to "yes", a menu appears allowing you to select different skins to use with the sandbox.
- noindex - by default, pages with this template transcluded on them are not indexed by search engines. If this parameter is set to anything other than "yes", indexing by search engines is allowed.
- demospace - if this is set to the name of a Festipedia namespace, the template acts as if it was transcluded in that namespace no matter what the actual current namespace is. This is useful for demonstration purposes.
