Using Show Preview

Hello IanJones100, 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.

Again, it is important that you use the Show Preview button so as not to flood our Recent changes page. Please do so in the future. — Lapper (talk) 02:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our resource. Take a look at Help:Editing if you would like to learn more about contributing. While your edits may be considered constructive, your large amount of them, along with your relative speed, is flooding the Recent changes page. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing. Please consider using the "Show Preview" function before continuing to edit. Thank you. — Lapper (talk) 03:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
