Hello Mas12806, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded.

Using Show Preview

Hello Mas12806, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, — Defender1031*Talk 21:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, please use it, it won't disappoint, i promise. — Defender1031*Talk 21:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to remind you about the show preview button. In case you don't knw that i'm referring to, it's

Hope that helps. — Defender1031*Talk 16:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


Mas12806, I still see you are flooding recent changes despite being reminded more than once about the "Show preview" button. Besides the issue with flooding, you'll really save yourself time if you would try using it and only hit "Save page" when you are 100% sure your edit is going to appear how you want it. Also, it would be nice to see you start using the "Summary" field to describe each edit you make. OptimisticFool 18:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
