In other words, I would strongly argue in favor of shutting down the sandbox as a VfD-resistant incubator for games which distract from the purpose of building an encyclopedia. There is value to wikigames as entertainment and as an artistic effort, but there's a separate wiki dedicated to this already -- http://games.wikicities.com/ -- and I feel that our own gaming related efforts should be limited at best.
I'm surprised that the Sandbox is "VfD resistant" in the first place - I would have thought anything sandbox-related would be deliberately ephemeral and of no lasting value, and hence eminently deleteable. The template on there even says that Sandbox contents are wiped every 12 hours, wouldn't this apply to Sandbox subpages too? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
What an easy solution might be would to have a wipe every 12 hours of the sandbox main page that also deletes any subpages (except any used for offical uses regarding the sandbox).
