Per T72499, this extension should be deploy on viwiki, where a previous gadget used as default (https://vi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition&oldid=63855727, "mySandbox[ResourceLoader|default..."). The extension currently missing, at least with people who already loged in, since it does not show the label "sandbox" in the top menu.
Consensus in 2015 about make this gadget as default.
Judging from https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đặc_biệt:Phiên_bản it is not deployed for viwiki
Could we start a request to deploy this for our wiki now? I dont know the reason why the extension isn't get deployed even though the gadget Mysandbox always active as "default" since the first time it imported in to vi.wiki since 2015, there should be a problem of detected which wiki have setup it as default before, and it should be fix now.
even though the gadget Mysandbox always active
While the gadget was added in 2014[1], it was made default only in November 2015[2]
The extension was being deployed to the wikis where it was default in April 2015[3], 6 months earlier.

I see. The community made a consensus about active the gadget as default since mid 2015, unfortunately we didnt know about there was an extension is being deploy since April. At least it is activing as default for 5 years with consensus, so the extension should be deploy now.
I think we can waive the usual requirement of explicit consensus here, considering it already works that way on viwiki. I'll try deploying it tomorrow, through no promises :).

So, I tried to deploy this, and had to revert. The reason is that the current sandbox gadget links to the public sandbox, rather than user's sandbox, and i failed to see that when preparing the patch. The docs https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SandboxLink doesn't seem to support that usage.
Would viwiki community be willing to change this?
In the consensus, we decided to make the sandbox as subpages of users ("liên kết đến không gian trang con của người dùng."), but somehow (mostly from my mistake while setup the gadget) it remain links to the public sandbox. I do believe the old consensus still applying here, since it should be in that way since the beginning.
Since this actually changes how the sandbox link currently works, I would prefer if you can just ping people at village pump, so this doesn't come as a surprise.
