Remove about the 10'th revision auto flag as it's a very small concern & I'm not sure about the details. Also, add details about fixer1234's & Laurel's comments. Finally, make a few other text changes.
Apr 11, 2022 at 2:28 comment added Laurel @fixer1234 It's -8 on meta. (That strategy is used for Physics Meta's sandbox.)
Apr 11, 2022 at 1:20 comment added fixer1234 It looks like purposely keeping the sandbox question scored below -4 (active curation, warning in Q body), would prevent any edit activity on the answers from bumping it on the main page. That would go a long way toward keeping people unaware of activity, and checking it out of curiosity. Counterproductive if using the sandbox to attract feedback or editors.

Correct some repeated text, add a few more details, and make some other text changes.
Apr 11, 2022 at 0:39 comment added John Omielan @Laurel Thank you for mentioning about your answer with a list of sandbox posts. I've added those details to my answer.

Fix a few small text errors, mention about flag at the 10th revision, add a link to Laurel's answer with a list of sandbox posts, and make a few other text changes.
Apr 11, 2022 at 0:24 comment added Laurel This may help: I made a list of sandbox posts.

Apr 10, 2022 at 23:08 comment added John Omielan @This_is_NOT_a_forum I know at least a few sites already have a "sandbox" type meta post, but I'm not sure how many of them there are. Also, among those that don't, I agree it's definitely possible the idea may not be well received on some of them, and it may take time to try to build a consensus. As such, my idea may not work well on those sites, at least for some time.
Apr 10, 2022 at 23:05 comment added John Omielan @fixer1234 I'm not aware of any way to keep the work hidden, apart from your suggestion of having the answer being deleted so it's visibility is limited to only high-rep users.
Apr 10, 2022 at 23:04 comment added This_is_NOT_a_forum Re "a good reason to create one": It will not be well received on some sites' meta site. It may even outright be deleted. Building consensus for it may take a long time, and it probably takes a very high reputation points user to convince the others.
Apr 10, 2022 at 23:03 comment added fixer1234 This is something I haven't used. Is there a way to keep the work hidden until it's posted, or do you just rely on few people visiting the sandbox, so most people wouldn't be aware of it?
