Hi. I'm a new editor. I found the handling of the noindex parameter on this page contradictory and confusing enough to lead newbies like me to using it improperly. At first, it says,
Then later in the page it says,
Many ordinary readers won't pick up on the double negative in the first quote and happily set their sandboxes to something other than "yes" as the second quote seems to direct us to do. Perhaps fixing this would save effort and electricity? Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
On my Sandbox page, it has a banner. One sentence in the banner says, "Are you ready to request an experienced editor review it for possible inclusion in Wikipedia?" To me, it seems "editor review it" should be changed to "editor to review it". Or am I missing something. Is it really a typo? If so, should I report it to someone? Should I change it? How? Thanks.

In the sandbox for this template, I tweaked the bolding/italics to better emphasize the main point of the notice (that the page is a sandbox) as the most prominent element. Feel free to let me know how it looks; I will plan to implement shortly if there are no concerns. ((u|Sdkb)) talk 17:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add ((Sandbox heading/Tabs)) (and protect that template) to make navigating between the different sandboxes easier. We should get users to experiment and play around with different functions in the various sandboxes and their own sandbox. It also has a link to "test Wikipedia" for experimentation with user scripts, etc. Awesome Aasim 03:43, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
