User:Randomsalt/sandbox

This is the user sandbox of Randomsalt. A user sandbox is a subpage of the user's user page. It serves as a testing spot and page development space for the user and is not an encyclopedia article. Create or edit your own sandbox here.

Couple notes about using the app

Multiple languages? Enjoy the bugs!
- Failed to escape an "&" in a copyvios report link
- I mean, who does silly stuff like... placing userboxes at the end of a page? Oh.
- Transcluding something with tables via excerpt will just place all the tables on top.
Watchlist is hidden behind a menu.
What is up with image tagging and captioning?
- They don't show up in the edit history.
- Oh, wait... they show up in commons and clog up the edit history with 'suggested edits. On the Wikipedia app.
- Worst feature ever. Regular users can't edit these, but unprivileged mobile app users can... for days... without knowing where their edits are going...
Want to watch or edit a template? Haha, no.
Wanna use the Visual Editor? Good luck, you're screwed
- (Just push the MediaWiki syntax onto the mobile users, cause who cares about them, right?)
Wanna type a lot of text?
- If you go over half the screen, you'll be blind!
  - Have fun screwing around with the text size...
Wanna create the sandbox page?
- Oh right, you can't! For any page!
Common.js? Broken. Not that it matters anyway...
When you talk, the newest thread is on top.
Wanna publish an edit? ...... (is this button working?)
The app has absolutely no support for pending changes. Normal editors will be left in the dark... reviewers can't review...
Remember portals? A.k.a. that feature Wikipedia got from Microsoft Encarta? Well, it doesn't work in the app.
And the final inexplicable bug: My user page. Why is text appearing above my userboxes??
- (Does Template:Clear not mean anything?)

But hey, at least it has a great offline mode, right? Real useful for an encyclopedia prone to lazy inaccuracies and vandalism...

To prove my point...

Let's click on a redlink!! /new page test

In-app, the link looks dead to me. It's not even red!

Offline notes

You'll always be confused at the save button, and whether it will show your articles or save your article.
And sometimes, when you tell it not to save an article offline, it's still there!

I'm on the beta version, btw

And Wikipedia:Contentious topics doesn't display properly.
