Could anyone tell me the best website/method to create weather boxes similar to Wikipedia's, but without my sandbox getting "Speedy Deletion" ? I have tried spreadsheets but it doesn't seem right. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated .

Off-topic, but I'm reminded of how all the climatic scenarios I make in my own head are based on real climates. Like, I would take real weather reports and make imaginary climates out of them, the temperatures from one climate, but either increased or decreased, the humidity, wind, and sun cover from another.
Hi. What I do is I edit them without creating an account (ie signed out) and then copy and paste the original values into a notepad document. Then I edit the weather box values to what I want. Then when I'm done, I press the publish changes button and then quickly do a print screen and paste it into a paint document and save it. Then I copy the original values from the notepad file and paste them back into the wikipedia edit box, click publish changes and whal-ah! It's as if you never even chnaged it.
With my method, you don't risk getting your account deleted (as you never even create one/sign in in the first place) and the altered climate values will only appear for around 10 seconds on the webpage, so you'd be very unlucky if someone was to spot it and report you, though even if they did, by the time they report it you would have already changed the values back to the original values, so if an administrator was to check it they wouldn't see anything wrong.
With my method, no one gets mislead/confused by incorrect climate data, no one's account gets reported and everyones a winner.
Though it would be great if wikipedia or someone else created a software that let you create your own climate data, without having to edit wikipedia pages or use spreadsheets.
