Request to Add "Sandbox" Link to the Top of Every Page
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Hello everyone!
I hereby requesting the additional link of a "Sandbox" to the top personal menu on every page of Swahili Wikipedia, similar appearance as to what people seeing on the English Wikipedia. This will help users easily access a testing area for editing without affecting real articles. I found out recently we don't have that kind of access to our Wikipedia. I tried to add the codes by myself on the MediaWiki section, turns out I have limited access despite being a sysop. Please do the needful to fix up the problem.
Thanks!
We have also Swahili recommended word for that. It should read as "Ukurasa wa majaribio".

- @Muddyb: Usually, the sandbox link is generated by mw:Extension:SandboxLink. Here is what you need to do.

You are a bureaucrat. If you want to implement that in JavaScript, you can do it yourself by assigning the interface administrator rights.

If your project decides to use javascript hacks be sure your js programmers know what they are doing and have 2FA enabled as required for interface admins. — xaosflux Talk 14:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm afraid we don't have anybody on board to do the job. That's why we are here. We need proper direction where to go. User:Muddyb (Talk) 15:20, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Syunsyunminmin Thanks for the heads up. Can you pin point the exactly user who can do the job? I could assign one but I dunno who to assign. Please! User:Muddyb (Talk) 15:14, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't know who is the right person for the job, it is better to install an extension that will be maintained by the developer. Syunsyunminmin 🗨️talk 15:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- I thought you know someone. We could use some help from anyone you know. User:Muddyb (Talk) 15:31, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Feature requests are submitted to phabricator, not Requesting wiki configuration changes. That's where someone can help. Syunsyunminmin 🗨️talk 15:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
