Description Dan Garry 2014-04-27 22:02:23 UTC 
If you go to your preferences, then the Sandbox link in the user panel at the top right hand side of the screen disappears and isn't there anymore. It reappears as soon as you leave your preferences.

Exposing "Sandbox" is en.wp specific and a gadget, see
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox.js
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets/export/mySandbox
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:My_sandbox

No idea why it's not shown on Preferences (wild guessing: security reasons?), but that's something to discuss on the Talk page of the gadget and not in Bugzilla :)

Nope, that's it. User-authored scripts (gadgets, common.js, etc.) aren't allowed to run on Special:Preferences (and a few other pages) since they could steal private information.

Yay, I once was right. :P
Comment 4 Bartosz Dziewoński 2014-08-16 19:35:44 UTC 
This could be fixed if we actually did this in PHP rather than as a gadget,
I filed a bug to do it: bug 69650.
