Hello everyone.

I'm Evan from Australia and am new to TV Tropes. I want to make a page where I review Ellen White's Literature, 'The Great Controversy'. After all, this book doesn't have a page reviewing it yet. It's about the last days [of earth's history] and is based loosely on the Bible.

The synopsis for the book on Wikipedia actually is quite long. That's why I won't repost that here. But basically, these are some of the characters and tropes: -Jerkass: Satan, for deceiving the whole world and getting both the Catholic Church and the USA to impose the mark of the beast. The Pope is also this. -Karmic death: Satan and his angels according to this book shall one day receive this. -Laser guided karma: If you side with Satan during the final conflict then you're in trouble with God. -Jerk with a heart of gold: Although Martin Luther essentially killed anyone who had a baptism by full immersion, yet he did question the Catholic Church's corruption and started a movement to reform Christianity. -Butt monkey: Anyone who has the seal of God during the Great Tribulation. Also John Wycliffe, William Tyrell and other Protestant reformers who were usually murdered by the Catholics. -What the hell, hero? God [or Jesus, it doesn't matter since they're basically one and the same] could've saved His church from tribulation instead of through it, but there shall be no pre-Tribulation rapture according to White. -The Rapture: According to White, this and the Second Coming of Christ are no different.

according to TV Tropes, this was finally fixed two months ago:

November 27, 2020: Some small fixes were pushed live, including one to the much maligned bug that rendered links to articles or other websites on discussion pages unusable due to inserting slashes.

...so here goes: test link

I feel like, if someone wants to draft something they wrote on this wiki, they should make their own sandbox instead of using one of the main wiki sandboxes. Or somewhere else, but not here, since it'll be gone in a few days.

It says on the Sandbox page that there's a Sandbox Namespace you can use to write rough drafts of pages. Does this mean what it says on the tin? Could you write a draft for a page under Sandbox/ or something of the kind, work on it for a bit and then move it to the Namespace it belongs in when you're happy with it? I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else on the wiki, so I thought I should make sure I understood what was meant.

Yeah, I think. See the other wiki's sandbox, with a banner that quickly explains what the sandbox is for.

The reason why this page never consistently says that it is for testing stuff is that there's no template built to stay on here, and any edits that tell what the purpose of the page is get deleted when someone else blanks the page for their testing.

I seem to have annihilated the Sugar Wiki, YMMV, and Darth wiki versions of this page.

See, if you redirect two pages to each other, you get a humorous error message, and are told to fix it pronto.

However, I set three pages to redirect to each other in a loop: Sugar Wiki Sandbox -> Darth Wiki Sandbox -> YMMV Sandbox -> Sugar Wiki Sandbox, ad infinitum. This prevents all three pages from being accessed. Uh, go me?

Anyways, if someone wants to fix it, just type in "?action=edit" at the end of the affected pages and remove the redirects. However, someone should probably do something more permanent to prevent this bug from being used as a nasty form of vandalism.
