Sandbox pages in a reserved block are reserved for you and your students until a date specified in the original reservation. After the agreed-upon expiration date, they will be recycled for use by other classes. However, should a student author an article worthy of becoming permanent, it can be moved to a permanent page prior to the expiration date -- see [[Student Projects]]. | Sandbox pages in a reserved block are reserved for you and your students until a date specified in the original reservation.

Let's suppose that you have created an article in a Sandbox page, and now you want to "publish" it, that is, put it in the main Proteopedia database where anyone can edit it, and give it a suitable title. (A protected Sandbox page can be seen by anyone, but only you can edit it. It is not a good permanent home for a completed new page.) | Let's suppose that you have created an article in a Sandbox or [[Proteopedia:Studio|Studio]] page, and now you want to "publish" it, that is, put it in the main Proteopedia database where anyone can edit it, and give it a [[Proteopedia:Page_name|suitable title]].

Best practice is to use the ''move'' tab at the top of your Sandbox/Studio page. This will move the entire page content and history to a page with the new title you choose. Note that this will also create a permanent redirect from your page to the new title. Frequently this REDIRECT page is not needed and can be ''carefully'' deleted. Best to send an email to {{Template:Contact}} requesting the removal operation. | |||
