If you want to test a new page you have created before publishing it on the wiki, or if you want to practice modifying a page, you can create one or several test page in your user space, for example at: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/User:Johnny/Sandbox/Test1 (replace "Johnny" by your wiki user name). In that page, you can copy and paste the code from another page and practice using titles, images, templates, infoboxes and everything that is on a real wiki page. You can even practice using the translation markers, mark your test page for translation and practice translating your test page. When you are satisfied of the content your test page, you can copy and paste its code on the real page of the wiki. | |||
