After the horrific mass cleansing last summer, I wanted to inform everyone how to properly hide their weatherboxes from unwarranted eyes.
Method one (the indiscreet hiding):
Add:
collapsed= yes
Then your weatherbox will take up a lot less space and be less clear to the visiting eye since they have to open the infobox.
Method two (the discreet hiding):
<!-- -->
Put <!-- in front of the first weatherbox you want to hide and then put --> after the last weatherbox you want to hide. By removing either of the two, the boxes automatically become visible again. This way, a visitor to your userpage or sandbox won't even know that there are dozens of colourful boxes parked on there.
By doing this, you should not have to worry about any 6 am Wikipedia patrols no more, so do either now and thank me later  |

I don't understand why anyone would keep their weatherboxes on wikipedia when they can be deleted any time.

What was this mass cleansing that happened last summer? And Wikipedia mods can see and delete the things in your sandbox at random? Damn...

I have all my weather boxes as docs and jpgs on my laptop and imgur. Of course if you have some kind of cultural marxist 32 gb flash memory drive or are a phone moron born in the 2000s I understand about storage issues, otherwise not.

I keep mine in a text file, copy and paste into wiki then click show preview and take a screenshot. Nothing saved on wiki.

I only use a google drive document. Then when I want to produce a weatherbox I just copypaste it onto a random wikipedia page and screenshot the preview.

Lommaren I don't use this, but it's an improvement, so thanks for sharing. I think last time they ran some kind of search for weatherbox code. Putting a few letters before a wikibox would not fool a search, but it would stop a random person from seeing the boxes and reporting it/running a search.

I just backed up and deleted most of my weather boxes off my sandbox page. I had around 140 and now I have 7.  |
