Hi Narayan !

Yes, I saw your question about sandbox... I'm not an expert of 
wikimedia, but here is what I did:
_ *type the address* of the page you want to create, directly in your 
browser's address bar, but with "Meta:Sandbox" before the page's path
     (*e.g.* 
/http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/*Meta:Sandbox*/Page_path/Page_name/)
_ *press enter* to go to this inexistent page
_ if you're logged in, you'll find a link labeled "*create this page*". 
You also have the button "Create" at the top-right.
_ *write the page* as if it was a real one.

For more convenience, I created the "summary" page so we can see the new 
structure clearly, but as you noticed, this page won't be used finally. 
It was just a way to navigate quickly between the pages during the write 
process, and to have a global view of all those pages.
You may also note that I have not named the sandbox pages correctly, 
because I left the "/Doc:2.6" in it, while it is into sandbox. It's not 
a problem, but it can be a bit confusing.

Once all is OK and ready to be online in the wiki (a.k.a. at the final 
address), I think you'll just have to copy / paste the page's content 
into the final one (by creating it the same way you created the 
sandbox), then delete the sandbox one. Anyway, as I'm not a "sysop" of 
this wiki, I can't delete pages... Are you ? (even if, as far as I know, 
nothing is really deleted in a wikimedia site, only hidden).

About the "tree view" (in the left column), I don't know how it 
appeared...Maybe someone with "sysops" rights have created it, or maybe 
it's an automated process, but it (magically) appeared one day... And I 
don't know how to modify it.

Hope this helps, and thank you for the helping out on the VSE chapter!
Cheers,
.Polo
