How to Save a Wikipedia Sandbox Draft

Published in Wikipedia Editing 2 mins read

Saving your work in the Wikipedia sandbox allows you to keep your draft and continue working on it later. The process is straightforward once you've added some content.

To save your Wikipedia sandbox draft, you need to add text and then use the save button.

Steps to Save Your Sandbox Draft

Based on the process, saving your draft is a simple action once you've begun writing. Here are the steps:

  1. Add Content: Type at least one character of text into your sandbox. The reference specifically mentions placing your cursor and typing something like 'This is my new sandbox'.
  2. Locate the Save Button: Look for the blue 'Save changes' button. It is typically found in the top right corner of the page when you are editing.
  3. Add an Edit Summary: Before clicking save, you will be prompted to type a short but descriptive Edit Summary. This helps track changes. An example provided is 'created sandbox'.
  4. Save the Draft: Click the blue 'Save changes' button.

Once these steps are completed, your work in the sandbox will be saved, and you can return to it whenever you need to.

Remember, the sandbox is your personal space for experimentation and drafting on Wikipedia, and saving regularly is good practice.
