A sandbox is a common [[application developer]]'s term for a test area where [[code]] can be developed and tested without affecting the server or the [[live code]]. Once tested, the code is then [[cut and paste]]d to the appropriate place.

;Purpose
 
:The purpose of the MoparWiki is very simple, to become the largest repository of [[Mopar]] Information -- the best Mopar Encyclopedia, if you will. There are millions of Mopar enthusiasts with both the knowledge required to achieved this lofty goal, and the references to back it up. Information that doesn't list references generally isn't trusted. If we all from time to time collaborate on these Mopar topics -- the MoparWiki will become the best informationbase of Mopar Data.
 
  
:If you've ever visited [http://www.wikipedia.org WikiPedia], this is the same concept -- only specializing in Mopar information. As a matter of fact, we use the exact same software application as Wikipedia. For a professional appearance, we want to follow a consistent format. Please familiarize yourself with the more completed wikis, and follow that format.
+
In the [[MoparWiki]], the sandboxes (we have three) are pages for those just getting started with [[Wiki]] editing to perfect their change without the change of doing damage to the article because of a mistake. For the safety of the Wiki, we would encourage you to please copy the section you wish to edit into one of the sandboxes for your editing. Then once you are certain that it is a real improvement, copy the code from the sandbox into the section of the Wiki you wish to improve.
  
:There is a simple markup language used for formatting the text and links -- but don't let that scare you away. It is not only very simple -- but the Help documentation on this site is excellent. In the furthermost right box below -- there are links to cheat sheets. Keep the appropriate one opened in a different tab -- and you will find you will have the formatting understood in no time. Likewise, we'll be looking for others who a little more familiar with the formatting, to help out and clean up some of the rougher works.
+
There is one further step of safety we ask you to do, and that is to preview before saving. Right there next to the Save is Preview, take the extra second to click it and look over your work, as it gives you one last chance to not do damage to the Wiki.
  
:No person has to tackle an entire wiki. Collaboration means that you help with the information you have, and others will help with the information they have. No one person will own any work -- as over time a topic is seasoned with more and more information added.
+
The three sandboxes are:
  
:Please take a look at some of the featured wikis listed below -- and look at some of the wikis we're asking for help on. Any help you give will be appreciated. Don't work about your work being lost to vandalism -- as we can roll back any topic to any point in the past. If you put a substantial bit of work into a topic -- you my want to "watch" it -- to where you are notified of changes.
+
* [[Sandbox-A]]
 +
* [[Sandbox-B]]
 +
* [[Sandbox-C]]
  
:Each topic has a history page, where you can see who contributed what -- and they each have a "Talk Page" -- where discussions and disputes are hammered out.
+
If you see someone else's experiment in that sandbox -- try another. Chances are good that the last person is done with it and neglected to erase their work -- but for safety's sake try another anyway. From time to time we come through and clean out the sandboxes.
  
:So won't you please crack whatever reference books you have -- and help collaborate on the Mopar topics?
+
Please do legitimate MoparWiki experiments in the sandbox -- and do not post anything inappropriate. Spammers, and people post porn or hateful things will be banned from the server by their [[IP address]].
  
 +
If you need editing help, look to the Editing Help link at the bottom of the page. The help is very good and easy to understand.

This will initially look far harder than it really is. Anyone can [[collaborate]] on the MoparWiki articles, as the code is very simple and very logical once you look at it. You do not have to be a [[computer geek]] to do this -- so roll up your sleeves and improve a Wiki on a subject that interests you and you have knowledge of.

;MoparStyle Members
 
:MoparStyle Members are authorized to edit the pages. Your same log-in to post in the forums, or post [http://www.moparstyle.com/classifiedads free classified ads], will also allow you to edit the wikis. As a matter of fact, each MoparStyle member has his own user page -- which is the best place for them to start with getting a feel for the mark-up text for formatting.
 
 
 
:If you are not already a [[MoparStyle]] member -- we invite you to go to the [http://www.moparstyle.com/forums forums] and register to post. It is quick, free, and MoparStyle is the best damn Mopar community on the Internet.
 
 
 
;Research and Editing Needed
 
:Every member of MoparStyle can help somewhere with making the MoparWiki the best Mopar Encyclopedia. Please spend a little time when available to help others looking for answers.
 
 
 
;Please Preview Before Saving
 
:It would be a very big help if you would use the Preview more often than the save -- and then use the save only after you are done editing and checking with preview. It helps the editors to look at the updates -0- and roll back if necessary.
 
 
 
;Talk Pages
 
:If you challenge the accuracy of the information in a topic -- but can't absolutely back it up with a reference citation -- then use the talk page, so others can find a reference to settle the challenge. Likewise -- if you don't feel comfortable editing the topic itself -- but you feel like you have some valuable information that someone else will find useful when they tackle the topic -- post it in the talk page for the topic.

A sandbox is a common application developer's term for a test area where code can be developed and tested without affecting the server or the live code. Once tested, the code is then cut and pasted to the appropriate place.

In the MoparWiki, the sandboxes (we have three) are pages for those just getting started with Wiki editing to perfect their change without the change of doing damage to the article because of a mistake. For the safety of the Wiki, we would encourage you to please copy the section you wish to edit into one of the sandboxes for your editing. Then once you are certain that it is a real improvement, copy the code from the sandbox into the section of the Wiki you wish to improve.

There is one further step of safety we ask you to do, and that is to preview before saving. Right there next to the Save is Preview, take the extra second to click it and look over your work, as it gives you one last chance to not do damage to the Wiki.

The three sandboxes are:

If you see someone else's experiment in that sandbox -- try another. Chances are good that the last person is done with it and neglected to erase their work -- but for safety's sake try another anyway. From time to time we come through and clean out the sandboxes.

Please do legitimate MoparWiki experiments in the sandbox -- and do not post anything inappropriate. Spammers, and people post porn or hateful things will be banned from the server by their IP address.

If you need editing help, look to the Editing Help link at the bottom of the page. The help is very good and easy to understand.

This will initially look far harder than it really is. Anyone can collaborate on the MoparWiki articles, as the code is very simple and very logical once you look at it. You do not have to be a computer geek to do this -- so roll up your sleeves and improve a Wiki on a subject that interests you and you have knowledge of.
