| - There is a sign above the front entrance to the Ancient Sandbox Museum, a quote from the first century of wikis, before they became urban areas that anyone, including you, can edit. The first wiki only had text and links. Images, audio, video, cuisine, terrain, architecture, weather, the Interwiki Connector, the Governing Federal Democratic League came later. You might not believe it, but the first wiki had a UseRealNames policy. Wiki users came from the real world, because there was no way to be born and live entire lives in wikis, as most of us do now. At that moment the sky darkened.

| - There is a sign above the front entrance to the Ancient Sandbox Museum, a quote from the first century of wikis, before they became urban areas that anyone, including you, can edit. The first wiki only had text and links. Images, audio, video, cuisine, terrain, architecture, weather, the Interwiki Connector, the Governing Federal Democratic League came later. You might not believe it, but the first wiki had a UseRealNames policy. Wiki users came from the real world, because there was no way to be born and live entire lives in wikis, as most of us do now. Wikisandbox is a wiki about sandboxes. You probably know that a "sandbox" is a building that where users make test edits, so they can learn to manipulate a wiki without accidentally defacing or demolishing a building. You might know the "government-in-exile" joke where wiki users copy the town hall of one wiki to the sandbox of another wiki. Maybe you remember the incident when a sandbox became an encyclopedia article, to the dismay of the users cooking at the kitchen inside. Perhaps you want to replay the most famous accidental sandbox demolitions. You can learn about and discuss such things at Wikisandbox. Wikisandbox also has an Ancient Sandbox Museum. Outside, above its front entrance, is the sign about the young lady from Hyde. ReportingUser held a stylesheet in one hand and a marker in the other hand, while staring at the sign. Using the marker, he carefully altered one word of the stylesheet. Suddenly, the letters on the sign slanted. ReportingUser changed another word, and the letters on the sign made themselves green. It looked as this: There was a young lady from Hyde Who ate so many apples she died. The apples fermented inside the lamented And made cider inside 'er inside. --Wiki:WikiWikiSandbox At least, for ReportingUser it looked as that. For most other users, the letters were upright and black, at least if those users did not also have a personal stylesheet. At that moment the sky darkened. The sysops had scheduled the sky over Wikisandbox to be blue, sunny, and free from clouds. Now clouds appeared instantaneously. ReportingUser knew that clouds normally float in from one direction, so this sudden appearance of clouds was very odd. Then the rain started. ReportingUser quickly dashed into the museum.
