[Mediawiki-l] how to create a sandbox

[Sullivan, James (NIH/CIT) [C]]

Why not create a Sandbox wiki, where the entire wiki is available to play in?  I teach a hands-on class on using Mediawiki and have a wiki set up for everyone to login to and create their own pages, edit, make templates, etc.  It allows more than just editing a single page since they can play anywhere.

thanks for quick answer.

Ok, but I found sandboxes which are automatically renewed every 30 minutes, so
the wiki knows about it.

Another question:

I am teacher at university and I would like to show my students how to create
or modify pages on my Mediawiki. But they are 20 or 30 students, they cannot
all edit pages in the same time.

any idea ?

Klaus
