Problem statement
Many people have lots and lots of sandboxes which are hard to find and organise
Solution
Make something to help keep people's workspaces on Wikipedia/Wikidata etc organised
To do
First version
Ask Facebook for common uses of sandboxesMake some foldersMake a button for making new draftsAsk Facebook for feedback- Are there any tools that can help easily move lots of pages to a new directory?
- Change whole page fonts to FreeSans, Gill Sans MT, GillSansSA, Calibri, sans-serif
- CHange Wikimedia icons to square ones
Design
Design based on an OS app menu, with full list of 'apps' and a favourites bar, could be in grid or in lines
Apps and folders
- Folders: A link that links through to a list of pages of a certain 'type' eg article, make it easy for people to create new pages in that folder
- Apps/widgets: Treat each thing as an app which can be moved to favourites and people to create 'apps' for other people to copy into their sandboxes
Ideas for things
Folders
- Draft article with easy to make pages in that space
Apps/Widgets
Can be either new things or just bring in those little tools from people's user pages
- Favourites
- Notes
- Links to sandboxes on other Wikimedia projects
- Feedback on number of views of articles you've created
- Number of articles you've created
- List of chat pages you can customise for various Wikiprojects and Village pump things
