Is this a wrong use of sandboxes, or a Loophole Abuse (since no-one has done it yet?)

Creating a page for Unpublished Works in Sandbox.Page Title as Name Of Work treating it as if it were a main article.

I haven't actually created such a page but am checking to ensure the rules aren't broken.

Sandboxes are not to be used to create permanent articles; they are, as noted, for drafting content that one intends to put in a "real" article. Given that the Darth Wiki namespace acts as a sort of sandbox for articles on Unpublished Works anyway, I would consider someone using the Sandbox namespace for that purpose to be violating the rules at least in spirit.

Hello,

I am wondering on how to make more than one sandbox page for my Troper page. I know that this troper named "N3xus" has 3 sandbox page and his own Troper page, while the only reason why I have only 2 sandbox pages is because RJ-CLOVIS-93 help make them for me, and its only to moving in other parts of my Trope Pantheon Pending works.

Anyone can make a Sandbox page with any title. You aren't limited by your troper page's name. That said, if you have a lot of sandbox pages, we start to wonder what you're using them for.
