I can't imagine why making sandboxes for subpages would be forbidden.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.@wingedcatgirl I just figured it was a formatting thing. If you make a Sandbox for a Main Page, that Sandbox'll become a sub-page for that page, making for an easy link. You can't do that for sub-pages, so for example if I made a "Sandbox / Characters Kunio Kun" page, it would not become a sub-page for "Characters / Kunio-kun" since that's already a sub-page.
The storm has now resided, the wolf now rests.@JRads47 There was a page like that before, but I've already made my case about it.
You can sandbox it however you'd like, as long as it's in the Sandbox namespace. I'm not sure why you'd like it to be a subpage, though. Sandboxes aren't for public consumption, and it seems like if you want to get other people contributing you'd already be in direct communication to give them a link to said sandbox.
@nombretomado That actually brings up another question related to this that I wanted to ask; Is it okay to link Sandbox pages onto Needs Wiki Magic Love? I was thinking of including Kunio-kun for the revamp, and then link the Sandbox page in the description. Another page that I want to add and make a Sandbox link for is SD Gundam, in which case I was thinking of linking this post
for an easy link to the Sandbox pages for the Red Links, but I'm not sure if linking to the Forums on Main Pages is allowed or not. If not, maybe it'd be better to link all of the Sandbox pages in the description?
Sandbox pages are just for drafting/behind-the-scenes work. Why would it need Wiki Magic Love?

Beyond that, yeah, don't go advertising it on the wiki proper.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIf you're only using the sandbox temporarily, you can use the Cut List to ask the mods to delete it when you're done using it.
I got a rock for Halloween.Okay, so I was able to link all of the Sandbox pages onto Discussion
, but none of them work. Clicking on any of them just takes you to a blank page with tiny words saying "File not found". Did I do something wrong?
^The most recent major site update introduced a bug that messes with slashes in discussion page posts; it adds apostrophes next to them. This tends to prevent URLs from working properly.

You may want to go back and format it like "Sandbox.Page Name" instead.

I want to revamp the Characters sub-page for the "Kunio-kun" series, and I even made an outline for how I want to revamp it
, but I don't have enough information to go through with it yet. Because of this, I was thinking of maybe opening up a Sandbox page instead to workshop the idea, but I don't know if that's allowed for sub-pages or only exclusive to main pages.
