We should build a better sandbox that automagically cleans itself out. Perhaps make it a Special: page.
I guess the only worry with such a thing would be that we want people to be able to do any kind of editing, diffing, etc just like they would with an ordinary page; it is, after all, for practicing how the software works. However, there are some things we could [possibly] do: * a utility that automatically reverted the sandbox to a particlar state (i.e. empty except for the standard header) * a "sticky" header, that can't be edited/removed, below which the "real" content (which is editable just like any other page) appears (in which case we'd only need to blank, not revert)
on fr: we use {{subst:sandbox}} to manually reset the sand box page :o)
We have a bot now. I'm marking as WONTFIX if I'm allowed to. Oh, it's filed for "MediaWiki" and not for "Wikimedia web sites". OK.
Marking it as WONTFIX, adding some page auto-clear functionality would overcomplicate things and isn't worth it for this small niche.
