Updated description to explain acronym. Updated secondary example text of "AFC".

New page

<noinclude>{{Pp-template|small=yes}}
</noinclude>{{Documentation subpage}}

{{not a sandbox}}
{{high-risk}}

This template is for placement at the top of [[WP:SANDBOX|sandbox]] pages in the [[WP:USER|User]] namespace so that readers understand it is ''not'' an active/live article or Wikipedia project page.

Non-userspace uses of this template are tracked in [[:Category:Non-userspace pages using User sandbox]].

== Usage ==
'''Basic usage (shown above)'''

<pre>{{user sandbox}}</pre>

'''Plain version'''

<pre>{{user sandbox|plain=yes}}</pre>

{{user sandbox|plain=yes|demospace=User}}

'''Complex example'''

<pre style="overflow:auto;">{{user sandbox|Username|plain=all|list=[[Personalization|Custom]] [[WP:USERSUBPAGE|list]] of [[Help:My sandbox|sandboxes]]|selectskin=yes|afc=no|demospace=User}}</pre>

{{user sandbox|Username|plain=all|list=[[Personalization|Custom]] [[WP:USERSUBPAGE|list]] of [[Help:My sandbox|sandboxes]]|selectskin=yes|afc=no|demospace=User}}

== Parameters ==
* The first positional parameter is the username of the editor the sandbox belongs to. This is not necessary if the sandbox is located in that user's userspace.
* '''plain''' - this removes most of the extra links. If this is equal to "all", only the basic message is left. If this parameter is present but not equal to "all", the text "For a sandbox of your own, create it here" is still visible.
* '''list''' - a list of your user sandboxes can be inserted here. This needs to be done with square brackets, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[User:Example/Sandbox1]], [[User:Example/Sandbox2]]</nowiki></code>. Use of this parameter also changes "the sandbox" to "a sandbox".
* '''a=yes''' - changes "the sandbox" to "a sandbox", without having to use the "list" parameter above.
* '''selectskin=yes''' - a menu appears allowing you to select different skins to use with the sandbox.
* '''afc=no''' - the articles for creation text ''"Finished writing a draft article? Are you ready to request an experienced editor review it for possible inclusion in Wikipedia? [Submit your draft for review!]"'' is suppressed. This parameter is unnecessary if the {{para|plain}} parameter is specified.
* '''noindex=no''' - indexing by search engines {{em|will be}} allowed (by default, noindex is "yes", i.e. pages with this template transcluded on them are {{em|not}} indexed by search engines). This parameter should almost always be omitted, because sandboxes should not be indexed as Wikipedia content.
* '''demospace''' - if this is set to the name of a Wikipedia [[WP:NS|namespace]], the template acts as if it were transcluded in that namespace no matter what the actual current namespace is. This is useful for demonstration purposes.
