IMPORTANT STAFF NOTICE

This sandbox is now full (or very, very close to it). Please make new sandboxes on Sandbox 3.

Welcome to the SCP Sandbox Wiki! You can use pages on this site to practice formatting, store works in progress, or simply have a place to put drafts so you can show others and get feedback before posting to the main site.

REMEMBER: when making edits, always use the "SAVE" function and NOT "save draft". Using "save draft" will retain a digital copy of the edits without actually changing the page itself. This can cause problems when attempting to make a new sandbox.

• Anyone can create and edit their pages here. You do not need to join this site, but you must be a Wikidot platform member.
• DO NOT EDIT OTHERS' SANDBOXES WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. If it's not your sandbox, there's no reason to make unsolicited changes, even if you're trying to be helpful and fix something.
• Please don't create too many sandbox pages. You can make as many sandbox pages as you need, but we recommend that you keep the number reasonable. You can store multiple drafts on your sandbox by using the tab code further down this page.
• Do NOT create a sandbox title or URL with an SCP number. So no SCP-1234, no SCP-4321, no SCP-173 pages. Don't use anything starting with "SCP" and followed by several numbers.
• When you're ready for feedback, ask for it. Feedback is only given when an author has indicated that they have something ready to be reviewed (no one camps sandbox pages). Seek feedback in the SCP wiki's IRC channels, Drafts and Critiques forum, or via wikidot PM request.
• Staff reserve the right to remove material that violates our site rules and guidelines.
• We recommend that you title your sandbox page(s) with your username, or something else unique. It's easier if people can tell who the sandbox belongs to by reading the title.
• Rating modules are disabled on the sandbox. While the module will appear if the code is present, no one can vote on them.
• Currently, only page creators and mods/admins can edit pages. This prevents people from editing sandboxes that are not theirs. For more information on sandbox permissions and how to share sandboxes for co-authored works, please contact Zyn or another member of site staff.
• Happy writing! :)

Tabs

To add tabs to your sandbox so you can have multiple drafts, use the following code:

[[tabview]]
[[tab Title 1]]
Text goes here. Pretend this is a draft.
[[/tab]]
[[tab Title 2]]
More text in another tab! You can add lots of tabs.
[[/tab]]
[[/tabview]]

If done correctly, you should get something like this:
