- (From Brad, who will be on an airplane during this meeting): A first-time contributor to Gerrit submitted change 83389 to add another text box to the little form TemplateSandbox adds to the edit page, because they’d like to be able to preview pages transcluding Template:Foo while editing Template:Foo/sandbox. Since one of the goals for that form was to keep it very simple, I’d say to -2 the change, but we don’t want to scare off new contributors. Is there anything reasonable we can suggest for this person to try?
