Why does it not simply have a "Create your own sandbox" box (like at WP:RFCU) or redirect into an individual [[User:Myusername/Sandbox]]?
New editors would be better off using an offical one.
I disagree. I found the official sandbox perfectly useless when I started editing Wikipedia, and that was several years ago. The first thing I did was find out how to set up my own sandbox, so I could try some test edits in peace, without other people's edits (and, in particular, blankings) interfering with my own. Such contention can only be worse (much worse) by now.
