Bug ID: 56555
Summary: Introductory message should explain that actions can
indeed modify the wiki
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ApiSandbox
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The current message is dangerous. It explains that it's for *experimenting* and
that this is a *sandbox*. As such I expected it to only simulate performing
actions.
I assume that making it simulate actions would be difficult, so I am instead
requesting that it clearly state that actions that modify the wiki, will in
fact modify it.
Something similar to what the English language Wikipedia uses [1] would be
good.

'Note that API actions that modify Wikipedia will in fact modify Wikipedia
when used from this sandbox. For example, using the "edit" action will
edit the specified page.'
