IUT 2009 MediaWiki Workshop/Activities/Basic Text Formatting/Create my sandbox

It is very useful to have your own practice area on the wiki, particularly if you are new to the Wiki, want to learn new editing skills, or are testing more complicated layout features (i.e., tables, graphics, etc.)

Activity 1: How to create a Sandbox (or practice area).

Download a [[media:Create_Sandbox.pdf|print version]] of these instructions.

Don't worry if you find the Wiki text for creating the sandbox is a little confusing at this stage. We haven't covered the syntax for creating new pages, and this is a more complicated example. However, if you're interested, this wiki markup has resulted in a dedicated personal sandbox off your user page, rather than one single sandbox for all the users of WikiEducator.
