Template data

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:User sandbox+ in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for User sandbox+

Add this to your sandbox subpage to turn it into a workstation for making new articles/drafts from a library of premade template articles. User Sandbox+ is a tool for drafting or publishing new articles, and accessing and starting new subpages to your user sandbox. It also gives you easy access to a list of template articles/pages which provides a framework to build off of, rather than starting with a blank page.
