Show Preview

Hello, The Atomic Punk, 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, RickTommy (edits) 06:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

The Show Preview button

RickTommy - normally that template is saved for users who make more consecutive edits to a page than the total number of edits The Atomic Punk has made so far.
The Atomic Punk - you're doing fine; and don't let it bother you if your edits get reverted. There is very often a good reason provided, which can be found under the history tab at the top of each page. it was very helpful for me when i discovered that tab. Sometimes it takes a while to get used to everything, but stick around, and you'll get the hang of it The Knights Who Say Ni 06:52, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

in fact, normally i don't tell ppl about the history button (b/c we don't have any kind of template for that) until they're persistent about wanting to include something, and not giving a regard to a reason. so in retrospect, i probably shouldn't have said that yet. lol The Knights Who Say Ni 17:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
