Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because it's not a test space, I just called it sandbox because it links to my sandbox. It's a template to display the links on a user page, without getting in the way of formatting there. I can just make it in Template:Kyerjay, if you like, but it's not a test space. --Kyerjay (talk) 15:00, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Kyerjay: ahh, I see. The template namespace isn't the best place to do that, since it's specific to you and not a generic template. A better way to do it would be to move it to User:Kyerjay/sandbox links, and then transclude it onto your userpage by putting {{User:Kyerjay/sandbox links}} on your userpage—you can transclude pages that aren't templates as long as you put the namespace at the start of the curly braces (in this case, "User:"). Let me know if that helps, and if you want me to move the page for you myself. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 15:11, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Cymru.lass: that seems to have worked, thanks. Sorry, I created the page rather than move the template, but I guess if I move the template now it'll override (same content so shouldn't be a problem). --Kyerjay (talk) 15:18, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Kyerjay: No worries! Are you good to proceed with deletion of Template:Kyerjay and Template:Kyerjay/Sandbox now that you've got them in your userspace? cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 15:20, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Cymru.lass: Oh yeah, go ahead delete them :') --Kyerjay (talk) 15:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
