User:Return 0 programmer/sandbox
FYI, there's an ongoing issue where folks use enwiki and Commons as a hosting service for offwiki forums/games. It's a very consistent pattern - userspace sandboxes with election and war infoboxes, always fake and never used for testing/drafting real articles. In many cases, they upload fake maps to Commons to illustrate the fake infoboxes; that's what tipped me off to User:Return 0 programmer/sandbox. Given that these sandboxes aren't being used for Wikipedia purposes whatsoever, what's the best way to tag them for speedy deletion? U5 is only applicable if the user hasn't made many mainspace edits (which is the case for many but not all of them). Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ignoring the rules and deleting per WP:NOTWEBHOST or WP:G3 is probably the best case scenario if someone is trying to play games. The sandbox as written looked to just be a test case for an infobox. Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
