This is the user sandbox of Nick Levinson. 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.

Finished writing a draft article? Are you ready to request review of it by an experienced editor for possible inclusion in Wikipedia? Submit your draft for review!

This is a Wikipedia user page.
This is not an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user to whom this page belongs may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia itself. The original page is located at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nick_Levinson/sandbox.

This is an attempt to redesign a template by adding parameters for wording that, in many situations, will be more precise. Use of this template is recommended for anywhere. I'm not confident in how I have programmed it, not having looked for all of the pertinent instructions.

Template draft

(subscription required)s

This is the sandbox page for User:Nick Levinson (diff).

Categorization draft

A new category would be created, probably Category:Pages containing links to subscription-or-libraries content.

Documentation draft

Existing documentation would be edited to reflect the new parameterization.
