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)
- 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)
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)
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)
"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)

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

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)
Done * Pppery * it has begun... 19:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Sandbox → Sandbox (disambiguation) – With the topic of the "sandbox" located at the article "Sandpit", this ends up being a disambiguation page that is even formatted with the bold lead suggesting the primary usage of the term is that at the article. Sandbox should therefore redirect to Sandpit and this article be moved to Sandbox (disambiguation), with the hatnote {{Redirect}} applied at the article.

- Oppose sandpit has 674 views but the computer security has 3,592, the software development has 1,551, the band has 858, the locomotive has 761, the 2012 video game has 580, the company has 441, the play has 388, the Guided by Voices album has 291, the Michael Houser album has 46, the video game editor has 10 and the missile has 2[]. While sandpit may well be primary by long-term significance it clearly isn't by usage and redirecting may cause new users problems finding our sandbox, even though I would not give too much weight to non-mainspace meaning it does seem likely it would cause confusion to new users here. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:41, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Sandpit is the primary topic for Sandbox. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 23:45, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
