This thread is for combing through the sandbox namespace
and cutting pages that are no longer serving a purpose. Some criteria on what we will and will not cut:
- Okay to cut:
- Sandboxes for abandoned and/or completed projects
- Personal sandboxes only if the troper is confirmed gone, or if they otherwise consent to a cut
- Not okay to cut:
- Sandboxes for ongoing projects (page drafts, project threads, pantheon work)
- Personal sandboxes currently in-use, or belonging to tropers who don't consent to a cut
Why do this? Well, mostly to clear up space on the wiki and clear out some unnecessary bloat, as well as to clear up sandbox titles or create pages out of long-in-stasis drafts.

Is it okay to cutlist Sandbox.Guide Dang It? It hasn't been edited in nearly three years and was created as part of an ultimately failed TRS effort.
Do we still need Sandbox.Broken Base Anime And Manga?
I created three sandboxes when Frivolous Lawsuit was nominated for No Recent Examples, Please!, but the discussion went nowhere, so can the sandboxes be discarded?

You can just add those to the cutlist yourself, if they're your sandboxes.

Is Ass Pull Wick Check still in use? The last edit was over a year ago, and I don't think Ass Pull currently has any TRS-related task for it. Is it okay to cut?

Is Sandbox.Getting Crap Past The Radar still in use? The page has only seen cleanup edits since its creation and I don't know if the sandbox is currently needed for any Getting Crap Past the Radar related cleanup efforts.

The thread's had activity this year, and I don't see the sandbox linked. You could ask Vampire Buddha if it's still being used?

Can someone tell me what the purpose of Sandbox.Reviews was? This sandbox has exactly 4 edits, all on the same day, all within a 2-hour span, all by Septimus.

Do we still need Sandbox.Castlevania Characters?
Useful Note

It's quite a bit longer than Characters.Castlevania. Maybe some information from it could be moved there.

Welcome to Corneria!
Sandbox.LGBT Representation In Media and Sandbox.X Men Title Team are both on Overly Long Pages. Do we still need them?
Characters.Persona 3 SEES, Characters.Persona 3 Starting Members, and Characters.Persona 3 Later Members have sandbox pages at Sandbox.Persona 3 SEES, Sandbox.Persona 3 Starting Members, and Sandbox.Persona 3 Later Members
These were all created by ~RWBYraikou888 back in 2023. The main character pages have since been launched and activity on the sandboxes have been for dewicking older tropes.
Are they still needed?

Sandbox.The Woobie Re Evaluation Page 21 was created by Master Joseph and hasn't been added new content since 2020. What is the purpose of this?

This was back when there was a clean-up thread for The Woobie. At one point, there was an attempt to make it another thread where all entries had to be approved by the thread and voted on, just like Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard. So, a lot of The Woobie entries got cut and moved to sandbox pages so the candidates could be voted on and written up with new entries approved by the thread.
It didn't really pan out, and the thread decided it was too much work to run a thread like the Complete Monster or Magnificent Bastard threads, so the idea of having potential entries be voted on by the thread was dropped. I guess some of these sandbox pages were left over from that, since nobody bothered to do anything with them afterwords.
I guess you can see if any entries can be added back to their respective pages, but it probably should be cut.

Said thread still exists, but yeah it's less strict now.

Is there a reason to keep Sandbox.Super Smash Bros 6401 To 04 around? it's last edit was in September 2023 and its only edits since the page's creation was changing the links of redirected, merged or disambiguated work and trope pages.
