Why is it necessary to edit this page?  Why not simply have a blank page and users can repeatedly hit the preview button until they achieve the desired result?  --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#30D5C8">ニョロトノ</span>]][[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#FF69B4">''666''</span>]] 01:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

== Ranger NPC Templates ==
How do I turn these into real templates? --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 07:08, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
:{{redlink|Template:Ranger NPC}} and {{redlink|Template:Ranger 2 NPC}} should be fine names. Just click, edit and copy/paste/click.

Ok, I suck at this... a little help, please? --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 04:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
== Two things ==
First, the template at the top is broken, the P hangs out of the roundycorner. This needs fixed.  Second, should we archive or otherwise do something to shrink the size of this page? it's probably murder on people on slow connections. -- '''[[User:evkl|<span style="color:#000099">evkl</span>]]''' <sub>[[User_talk:evkl|<span style="color:#006699">(need to talk?)</span>]]</sub> 20:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
:Fixed. We don't archive, we just remove old content every now and then. Old tests don't need to be saved (and anyway, they're in the page history). &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 03:50, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
== Videos ==
There is a video in the sandbox. If videos are possible on Bulbapedia, why aren't they used more often in the mainspace?[[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 22:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
:Copyright issues and so on. We wouldn't want a company suing this site for copyright against the media. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#00AF33;">'''☆'''</span>]][[User:CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#F8D030;">'''Cool'''</span>]][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|<span style="color:#0098d8;">'''ピカチュウ!'''</span>]] 22:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
== Redlinks ==
Can we remove them? Are they on the wanted pages? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
== Other people's sandboxes ==
Are we allow to edit other people's sandboxes or we're not allowed? --[[User:Cinday123|<span style="color:pink">Cinday123</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Cinday123|<span style="color:lightblue">Talk</span>]])''</small> 07:08, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
:Unless there's something explicitly wrong with their sandbox (like a red link to a page that is definitely unneeded, clearly problematic things like racism and the like) there really should be no need to edit someone else's sandbox. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 07:19, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
== Userspace Sandbox ==
Does editing your own Sandbox in your userspace count towards the max 3 userspace edits rule? --[[User:Rikeo|<span style="color:#799999">Rikeo</span>]] ([[User talk:Rikeo|<span style="color:Grey">talk</span>]]) 14:45, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
:It depends. If you are using it to make/test a template for the mainspace, then as long as you keep your edit number/frequency reasonable then no. If it's for the userspace, then yes. Note that these are just general guidelines, and specific instructions from staff members take priority. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 04:50, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
== my account ==
my account keeps on posting random stuff on sandbox and apperantly i cant see it??? {{unsigned|Pikablu 2}}
:Please note that the purpose of the sandbox is primarily testing templates which may later be used in the mainspace. Please use the preview button rather than saving this page wherever possible. If you post "random stuff", it is likely to be removed. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 04:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
== Can we please empty the sandbox? It's overloading my browser. ==
There's so much data on it that I can't even do anything. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:21, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
: I agree. We should clear it out every six months or something, except for things that are actively being worked on. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 18:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::Well it's been almost 4 years, but it finally happened. Thanks. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 18:14, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
== Region maps ==
In Chrome (maybe other browsers? I don't use any others, so idk), the region maps for Alola stretch horizontally beyond the edge of the page, but don't cause Chrome to realize it needs to have a horizontal scroll bar. This means the Melemele and Akala ones are visible, but the rest are not because I can't scroll across to see them. Is there something we can do to either put the maps on separate lines or force browsers to use a horizontal scroll bar? Thanks.
