Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Editing/Create a private sandbox page for a Wikipedia user/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: Currently, every user has a sandox (Special:MyPage/sandbox) when creating an account from Wikipedia. However, when you edit it, it appears in the user's contributed list (Special:Contributions). This is a problem for users working on featured articles, as some users may steal content from those issues, pasting all of that person's work into this article before the project is ready.
- Proposed solution: Create a private sandbox for the user to develop their editorial work without appearing in the list of contributions.
- Who would benefit: Everyone would benefit, as it would be a private space, where no one could know how that user is using his private sandbox, in addition to being the only place where he could edit as many times as he wanted without counting his edits, being able to click several times on the "publish changes", but which would only be available to the user. This will prevent content theft by this account.
- More comments: With the approval of this proposal, it will be implemented in all global Wikipedias.
