Changes

{{editprotected}} The double spaces have to go, and "In computing:" & "In music or entertainment:" should be ==Computing== and ==Entertainment==.174.3.111.148 (talk) 14:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the double spaces but haven't changed the headers because they seem to match with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Organizing long lists by subject. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:39, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

View source bug

If you go to the page, you see View source instead of Edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.164.146.61 (talk) 02:47, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is NOT a bug. This page is semi-protected so that only the registered user with 4 days old and 10 edits minimum can edit. I know that you want to test, please go to WP:SB. --Il223334234 (talk) 09:30, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"sandpit" is the customary meaning and should appear first

I was rather surprised to see WP:SB listed first, then a cat's litterbox. Yuck. The conventional meaning of sandbox as playground equipment should be before this long list, maybe right in the hatnote. 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:831 (talk) 02:47, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you write that a sandbox is also a mode of ‘freestyle’, where it is possible to experiment, without damaging, vandalising, or posing a safety hazard towards anything. 94.207.172.100 (talk) 13:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That would go on the Wiktionary definition. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:01, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moving/renaming sandbox to its final name?

How does one do this? There appears to be no "move" command on the toolbar! Wimbledon32 (talk) 09:11, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the page Sandbox. Please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 01:03, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Remove the word "online" from Sandbox (software development).

Sandbox (software development) is not exclusively online, but can also be offline. Therefore, I suggest removing the word "online".

I am not able to edit the page, but maybe someone else is. Therefore I am writing the suggestion here. DuClare (talk) 10:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
