In the recent discussion of editor engagement
effectiveness on
wiki-research-l, the question of Flow's affect on talk page wikitext
practice arose. I would like to know whether anyone shares my concern that
eliminating wikitext talk pages will remove what has, for the past few
terabytes of edits, served the same purpose as the "sandbox" pages which we
encourage new editors to practice with.
Is that just enwp? On svwp we do not encourage people to use the talk pages
as sandboxes. Instead we have a default-on gadget with a link to
[[Special:MyPage/Sandbox]].
