Many wikieducators, both novice and most expert, find it very useful to have their own practice page in the wiki. We call this personal practice page a sandbox. You will create it to be a link from your User page. Your sandbox is a place where you can safely practice wiki editing, including more complicated layout features, without worrying about inadvertently changing the layout on one of the main pages in the wiki or having to share a single sandbox with all the members of WikiEducator.
