Can do this too ...
- to request deletion of pages I created, use ... 'db-author' inside template (double curly brackets) ...
- create draft categories ... Cut from TEAPOT
"are category sections not allowed in sandboxes, and if not, why not? Header pretty much sums it up. cheers Tarkiwi25 (talk) 00:42, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
You'll find advice at WP:Categorization#User pages. - David Biddulph (talk) 07:37, 18 August 2019 (UTC) @Tarkiwi25: In a word, no. I'm assuming you're drafting an article in your sandbox and want to be ready wuth the right categories for when it goes into mainspace? The last thing we want is for multiple, half-finished drafts appearing in Category listings (I've made that mistakes in the past). But you can inactivate the categorisation by adding a colon immediately after the opening pair of square brackets Category:New Zealand. This keeps the link working, but doesnt include your page. Once live, just delete the colons. Nick Moyes (talk) 09:41, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
You can also use the draft categories template, which makes the categories show up on the page like they normally would, but prevents the draft from appearing in the category listings. You can do that by copying and pasting this and putting it at the end of your article:
- Insert category here
- Insert another category here

Tip of the day...
 How to create a new page
In the search box, type in the name of the article you wish to create. When told that the page does not exist, click the link either in red or with the question mark. You can also type the title as the URL in your browser's link field and get there directly – e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_name Perhaps the easiest way to start a new article is to follow a link to a page that does not exist yet. Depending on your settings, these links may show up as red links or have a question mark at the end of the link (red links?). Note: The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is restricted to autoconfirmed users, though non-confirmed users and non-registered users can submit a proposed article through the Articles for Creation process, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}} |
