Better heading?

"Introduction to contributing to Wikipedia" seems non-optimal, because it's redundant with the page title, creates some confusion with the menu page, and comes across as a bit dry/lacks enthusiasm. Any suggestions for improving? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 08:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Previously there was three separate introduction pages. They are later merged, so the merged one does not equal to any of them. However, the interwikis were simply combined - they are actually unsuitable for this page, and currectly this contain multiple pages in one same language.--GZWDer (talk) 00:16, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Random subpages for IPs aren't random

We show IPs a link to a "random" subpage of Draft:Sample page/, but because of how the randomness is achieved (with {{Random number}}), multiple users see the same draft subpage until this page is purged or the server cache cleared. This seems non-optimal; it leads to multiple users editing the same sandbox, but as it's not cleared between edits, subsequent users don't see the preload message, and it leads to a proliferation mostly test pages that often have to be deleted multiple times. Is there a better solution? Should we just point them to the normal Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits? Ping Sdkb. — The Earwig talk 22:14, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
