Plaquebox

[edit]

This page and the transcluded template seem to actually encourage vandalism. At first, I thought it meant test edits like a sandbox, but no, it says "You can place copyrighted, offensive or libelous content in the plaquebox as this location is for vandalism." I don't think that's a very good thing to suggest. The page hasn't been used since it's creation and nothing links to it. Related pages: Commons:Dirtbox and Template:Dirtbox should probably be deleted too. I don't see why we need more than Commons:Sandbox. -Rocket000 03:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, either Delete or redirect to Sandbox, I think. en-wiki has no plaquebox, but does have dirtbox as a redirect to Sandbox. There are a bunch of redirects to the above pages too. User:VolkswagenKing28, who created these, has some pretty odd edits interspersed among useful ones... including Image:Commons-logo-new.PNG and Specials. I'm not sure what to make of them. Plaquebox and Dirtbox were created within a couple days of each other. Carl Lindberg 06:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, thanks for pointing those out. I deleted the Specials redirect, as it made no sense. The image is clearly out of our scope, so I (or someone) will be deleting that too, but I'm curious to hear what VolkswagenKing28 has to say about these edits. Rocket000 21:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to the Sandbox. —Scott5114 15:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
