How to create a sandbox

You will want to tell the students:

1. Make sure you're logged in on Wikipedia.
2. Go to your user page and click "Edit".
3. Write [[User:<your user name>/Sandbox]]
   (You do not have to call it "sandbox". You will likely have multiple sandboxes for various things you are working on. For example, you could call your new sandbox:
   User:<your user name>/MySandbox1;
   User:<your user name>/MySandbox2; or even
   User:<your user name>/MyPracticeSpace.
   You decide.)
4. Click on "Save Page”
5. Click on the link you just created
