- Some advice to @
Jayab314: - I was about to snowy delete this, but unlike most of the times we get these I see you are also making positive contributions to articles and this could possibly be related. I suggest you (1)
move
User:Jayab314 to
User:Jayab314/sandbox and (2) blank out your sandbox when you are not actually using it to test something related to improving these related articles. (Just replace the entire contents with {{
user sandbox}}). —

- Alright I’ll move it to my sandbox, but can you explain to me why I can’t use my user page for whatever I want since it’s a user page and almost no one cares?

- User pages and user space sandboxes are subject to
Wikipedia:User pages. In particular, see
WP:UP#NOT which specifically states that playing games in user space is out of scope for Wikipedia user space pages. --

- Okay...I did it. Sorry it took some time, I was on a trip and wasn't able to access my computer until now. Thanks for talking with me before deleting it because I didn't know sandboxes existed.

- To be absolutely clear, it is not allowed in your sandbox either. What Xaosflux is suggesting is that you blank your sandbox and use it only for actual testing. -- Whpq ( talk) 00:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

- As noted by Xaosflux,
Jayab314 (

Big Brother 20 (U.S.), but also across a range of different topics. He deserves some leeway for that. In August 2018, he made a large number of these notwebhost-like edits on his userpage. Are they for purposes connected to the articles? --

- I realize now it probably should've been better to use the sandbox, I was just figuring out how the formating of the voting table worked while keeping it fun...I will clear out my sandbox maybe once per week, maybe even more frequently if necessary. Jayab314 ( talk) 19:43, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
