 This is a walkthrough of how to start editing in a sandbox on Wikipedia. You can use a sandbox to experiment with wiki syntax, make practice edits, take notes and collect material, or draft an article that can later be moved into Wikipedia. To make a user sandbox, first you need to log into your user account. Once you've logged in, click on Sandbox in the Personal Tools links at the top of the page. This will bring you to your default sandbox page, which is a sub-page of your user page. In the Edit window, you can begin composing your sandbox page. It will come pre-loaded with a bit of wiki code for a sandbox template. Once you've written a little bit of your sandbox article, you can press the Show Preview button beneath the Edit window to see what the page will look like. Then enter an edit summary in the field beneath the Edit window to describe what you've done, and press Save Page. You've started your sandbox article. You can always press Edit to make more changes. And if you leave the sandbox template there, it has some useful tutorial links, as well as a link for requesting a review of your sandbox draft for inclusion as a new Wikipedia article. Happy editing!
