To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Matt Perry[edit]
Hi there. I reverted your addition of Matt Perry (rugby union) to Category:Rugby union in the United Kingdom. As you'll see if you view the category page, individual players don't belong there. See also WP:SUBCAT, which explains that articles shouldn't usually be added to a category and to its parent, which was the case here because the article is already in player categories.

- Ohh; now I get it. Thank you, cheers. Platnieuem (talk) 07:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- No problem. Category trees can be confusing! Cordless Larry (talk) 12:02, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Literary awards of the United Kingdom indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 02:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
