===First question; where can I keep work in progress?===
Sometimes it takes me several weeks to write a big new article from scratch. Examples completed are [[puberty]] and [[androgen insensitivity syndrome]]. Similar examples I am currently working on are [[growth hormone treatment]] and [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]]. As you can see the latter are incomplete, sometimes even with sentence fragments. So far, no one has bothered them because they are pretty unsearched-for (maybe even unwanted or unneeded, but let's not go there...). Is there a way to make a personal temp page, or hidden sandbox, or whatever you call it, where I could do all the work until it's ready to post in a more complete form and no one else would accidentally find it?

: Yes, you can make a subpage of your userpage, by adding /whatever after it - for example [[User:Alteripse/sandbox]], [[User:Alteripse/work in progress]], or whatever you like. Alternatively, just keep things offline and edit offline, and when you're ready to submit your big new article, just copy and paste. [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 03:15, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
