Summary

Show how this or this works.

• Using a sandbox nursery garden for article development (very assistive).

• Placing the tool is extremely easy in English Wikipedia. When creating a user sandbox, replace {{user sandbox}} template with {{user sand box}}.

• Only 4 article templates (generic & 3 biographies) have been filled in, the rest are empty as the structure is supposed to be checked and revised.

• Custom user article templates can be easily built, with the ability to edit them at will with a few clicks, add/remove them from the appearing list, while at the same page a full list view of all templates created is given.
• Custom article templates assisting programs or editathons can additionally be injected by an instructor.

• Creating an article from a sandbox (moving the page correctly), is foolproff.

• Gives way to translate an article to a sandbox, for editing more before publishing in the article space.

• Gives ability to easily put formed bibliography and add explanatory notes in addition to citation references, using the visual editor (generic article template).

• Featured bite-proof protection.

Expected outcomes

Make editing easier, more effective and more organized, for newcomers, for education programs, editathons, but also for veterans.
