Instructions[edit | edit source]
1. Find a sandbox page you are not using or make a new sandbox page. Here are instructions on how to make your own sandbox page.
2. Once you have a sandbox page to work on, copy and paste the following onto your sandbox page.
{{Special:PrefixIndex/User:YOURUSERNAME}}
3. Go to the task list to find a username to work on.
4. Replace YOURUSERNAME with FamilySearch username for the name on the task list. For example, {{Special:PrefixIndex/User:Batsondl}}

6. Starting with the first sandbox on the list, hold Ctrl button and click on the link at the same time and it will open a new tab to view the sandbox page.
7. Go to the bottom of sandbox page and check 2 things:
- a. If there is a sandbox category.
- b. If there is any other category.
8. If there is no sandbox category on the page, copy the wikitext and add it to the sandbox page:
[[Category:Sandbox]]
9. If there is a sandbox category on the page, go to step 10.
10. If there a category (other than Sandbox) on the page, take off the square brackets so it is no longer a category, such as:
Category:Ohio, United States
11. If there is no category (other than sandbox) on the page, go back to the list of Sandbox pages and click on the next link.
