Inkipedia:Proposals/Passed/Sandbox Policy Proposal

A proposal to install a formal policy regarding the sandbox userpage feature; the final draft may be read on this page. This policy page draft aims to explain sandboxes’ basic functionality, as well as officially define certain types of sandbox content as not permissible.

If pre-existing sandboxes are found to be in major violation of the proposed sandbox guidelines, they will be handled on a case by case basis at a later date should the policy pass. Yoshifan52 (talk) 07:04, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Overall I think the policy is very good, but there are a couple of small things I am slightly worried about. The first thing is the link to the Wikipedia Wikitext help page. Although most of it also relevant to Inkipedia, there are a couple of things there that are only for Wikipedia, which might be confusing. I'm not sure what the best thing to replace it with is. Maybe a link to either our, or MediaWiki's Help:Contents? However, they aren't only about wikicode, so it might be better to use the Wikipedia link. The other thing I am concerned about is in the part about fanon, fanfiction and blogs. I am worried that "Extensive usage" is too vague. Perhaps there should be a quantitative rule, like maybe the length of the page?  02:18, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
