''<span style="color:maroon">This Wikibase sandbox is for playing, experimenting, learning about the functionalities, possibilities and limitations etc. of Wikibase, and knowledge sharing activities resulting from these learnings. It is maintained by [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:OlafJanssen Olaf Janssen], the Wikimedia coordinator of the KB, mainly as a personal '''tool for experimentation, learning, skill-building, knowledge sharing and consultancy about Wikibase''', both towards KB staff, (inter)national Wiki(base) communities, GLAMs, KB network partners, as well as other 3rd parties. It does not contain any offical data(sets) of the KB, and the data can be changed/deleted at any time. This instance is not supported by the KB, nor is it part of the official KB IT infrastructure.

In June-July 2002 the KB created and configured this instance on Wikibase.cloud. Many of the steps we needed to take in the setup process were as to be expected when working with fresh MediaWiki instances in general, and Wikidata in particular. However, some steps were not immediately logical, manifest, clearly documented or simply beyond our (then) knowledge and experience. We created a '''[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Wikibase.cloud_Unboxing_Experience,_Netherlands_Wikibase_Knowlegde_Group,_22-07-2022.pdf presentation]''' in which we share experiences and first impressions of unboxing, setting up, configuring and tweaking '''our [https://kbtestwikibase.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Main_Page Wikibase.cloud test instance]'''. We also present solutions for most of the issues we encountered.
