SandboxIndex

Whilst reviewing your changes for NFL player template, I noticed the rather nifty tool your using to monitor and clear your sandboxes. I tried to copy and modify it on my pages but it appears you're referencing some script or macro to perform the 'blank' function. How's it work and may I make use of it in some manner?

• I basically co-oped some of the features from Wikipedia:Navigation popups to force revert a page to a previous revision. In each of my sandboxes at least one revision is a blanked page (minus the index template). So, for each of my sandboxes, there is a link like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:PSUMark2006/Sandbox&action=edit&autoclick=wpSave&autosummary=blanked&autorv=111274306&oldid=111274306

...where 111274306 corresponds to the specific revision number in that page's history that I want to revert to (in this case, a blank version of the page). I'm not sure if you need the popups installed in order for this to work, but try creating a blank revision for your sandbox pages, and use that revision number instead of mine (you can get the revision number by looking at the URL for a particular diff's revision date in the page history). For example, in your User:Вasil/Sandbox1, you have a diff that is a blank page, revision (or oldid) 106059723, so the URL for that blanking link might be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:%D0%92asil/Sandbox1&action=edit&autoclick=wpSave&autosummary=blanked&autorv=106059723&oldid=111274306.

Hope this helps...drop me a line if you need anything else. — PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 21:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
