I am in the process of tidying up the Wiki. Amongst the changes will be the disappearance of the "sandpit" pages. These have the unfortunate habit of appearing high up in the search results and are not helpful. Please make sure you back up any data you wish to be kept on your own system - all such pages will be deleted at the end of May.

Would at least one page be left available for the purposes of testing things out? Surely if the page is left blank after testing then it wouldn't show up in searches.

Of course if this is the case then why not just request that sandpit pages are to be left blank except when being actively used for testing?

Just wondering really.

Thanks.

There are dozens of sandpit pages with proper looking titles which is the problem - they show up in searches, often at the top, yet they're outdated and inconsistent. I don't mind leaving a single page for people to play around with.

Ah they were created part of the transposition process from the old forum to the new as a kind of back up is anything went wrong and should have gone ages ago.
