== Update sandbox icon to match all other templates == {{fper|Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template|Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Module|Template:Editnotices/Page/Template:Old moves/doc|ans=y}} I think [[:File:Sandbox.svg|the icon]] that currently appears when viewing the sandbox of a template (which seems to come from [[Module:Documentation/config#L-34]] and [[Template:Template sandbox notice]]) doesn't represent the concept well. (See an [[Template:Format/sandbox|example of how it looks]].) The sand is too brown, the lighting is off (all three objects seem to receive light from different light sources), and the colours are unusual. And it's not even a "sand box"! ''There is no box in the sandbox icon...'' {{ombox |image = [[File:Sandbox.svg|50px|alt=|link=]] |text = This is the [[Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases|template sandbox]] page for {{#if:|[[]]|[[:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__}}{{#if:{{REVISIONID}} | ([{{fullurl:Special:ComparePages | page1={{#if:|{{FULLPAGENAMEE:}}|{{NAMESPACEE}}:{{BASEPAGENAMEE}}}}&page2={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}} diff]) |<!-- hide when previewing --> }}.{{#ifexist:{{#rel2abs: ../testcases}} |  See also the companion subpage for [[../testcases|test cases]]. }} }} I think it should be updated to use [[:File:Edit In Sandbox Icon - Color.svg|the standard sandbox icon]], already used in all other sandbox templates, such as [[Template:Sandbox heading]], [[Template:Sandbox notice]], [[Template:Template sandbox]], [[Template:Template sandbox heading]], [[Template:Not a sandbox]], and [[Template:X20|more]]. {{ombox |image = [[File:Edit In Sandbox Icon - Color.svg|50px|alt=|link=]] |text = {{pb}}This is the [[Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases|template sandbox]] page for {{#if:|[[]]|[[:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__}}{{#if:{{REVISIONID}} | ([{{fullurl:Special:ComparePages | page1={{#if:|{{FULLPAGENAMEE:}}|{{NAMESPACEE}}:{{BASEPAGENAMEE}}}}&page2={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}} diff]) |<!-- hide when previewing --> }}.{{#ifexist:{{#rel2abs: ../testcases}} |  See also the companion subpage for [[../testcases|test cases]].{{pb}} }} }} This icon uses less daunting colours and is more detailed while also adding more items to the box, such as the pencil and the document being changed. [[User:FaviFake|FaviFake]] ([[User talk:FaviFake|talk]]) 16:32, 26 September 2025 (UTC) :Since this page is whatchlisted by 165 editors and none have responded after 17 days, I'll assume there's [[WP:SILENT]] consensus and apply the tper template.

[[User:FaviFake|FaviFake]] ([[User talk:FaviFake|talk]]) 00:04, 26 October 2025 (UTC) :::: That edit can't possibly do anything because it's in a Lua comment.

Does anyone know where that editnotice is coming from? [[User:FaviFake|FaviFake]] ([[User talk:FaviFake|talk]]) 00:07, 26 October 2025 (UTC) :::::FOUND IT! It comes from [[Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template]] and [[Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Module]]. The reason i couldn't find it is because it uses a .PNG file instead of the newer .SVG file. This is the change in [[Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template]] that would fix the image:{{pb}}<!-- Generated using w:en:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/FormattedEditRequest --> :::::{| class="diff diff-editfont-monospace" style="margin: auto;
