Hello, MarioMaster2008. 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.

:I am aware of the show preview button, yes. It's just that with all my userboxes, and while making my own, I often make spelling mistakes that go unnoticed until after I click "save page." This means that I must edit the page again. So that is what makes up most of my edits. I have also added several new userboxes that I have found after saving the page, so I edit those in, too.

[edit] Using Show Preview

Hello, MarioMaster2008. 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, --DorianGray 05:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I am aware of the show preview button, yes. It's just that with all my userboxes, and while making my own, I often make spelling mistakes that go unnoticed until after I click "save page."
