Wikipedia: Sandbox

zaptrem Friday, January 30, 2026

I was learning about Wikipedia recently and thought it was interesting there was a global, public page specifically for writing random stuff to learn how to use their editor. I assumed there would be something like this on a per-user, invisible to the public level, but not a global level like this page.

Summary
The Wikipedia Sandbox is a page on Wikipedia that allows users to experiment with editing and formatting without affecting the live site. It serves as a testing ground for users to practice their skills and explore the platform's features.
