Just copy the whole already existing page into the sandbox (or just start the creation in sandbox). Once the final thing is ready in sandbox copy it to the actual page. [[User:Hirmuolio Pine|Hirmuolio Pine]] ([[User talk:Hirmuolio Pine|talk]]) 22:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

:To chime in, when I work on big edits, I make extensive use of MediaWiki's "Show preview", which offers a WYSIWYG view of the page with your changes, without having to save the changes to the live wiki. Lets you play around with things you are just prototyping, or lets you catch any mistakes in your in-progress edit without it becoming a permanent record. Sandboxes are also cool if you want to prototype some changes and just leave it somewhere, or to share with other people (as Hirmuolio and I did with a table in [[Natural resistances]] in a couple of our sandboxes). As you can probably tell, the wiki could use a lot of work to keep it up to date, so thank you for your contributions, and hope that they may continue!
