A little help

We clear? Now gimme five.

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. 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.

You also seem to be creating unneeded templates. {{donotedit}} is not necessary, because this is a wiki, and wikis are supposed to be collaborative. Almost any user can edit almost any article, except other peoples' userpages. Your userpage was the only place the template was used on, and there's no use for it there because other users aren't allowed to edit it either way. Likewise, {{editedimage}} isn't needed either, as there are several other image copyright templates you can use, such as {{personal-image}} (only for personal images, of course). For this reason, It's dot com has deleted both.

Also, use edit summaries. Edit summaries are above those three buttons when you edit, in the box with "Summary:" before it, as you can see in that image over there. Edit summaries help users know at a glance what it is that your edits are changing. If you make a large change to a page for what seems like no reason, like you did here, you can use your edit summary to explain why. Keep on tranglin'. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:36, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
