Hey Tenerence, I noticed that for the first two pages you created, you created them as a subpage in your user space, then created a separate page in the mainspace. You don't have to do that. You can just create the page in its final destination. Or, if you would like, you can create the page in your user space, then ''move'' that page to its final destination, but it's generally discouraged per our [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|standards]] to create two separate pages that have the same content. I also noticed that you originally created your second page as "my-other-soon-to-be-page". Your first page appears to be successful thus far, so "my-soon-to-be-page" isn't really an accurate title anymore. So, good work. What you could have done is remove the content of "my-soon-to-be-page" and put what you put in "my-other-soon-to-be-page" in its place rather than creating another user subpage. Is there a reason you created the pages like this? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 04:59, 15 April 2012 (UTC) | Hey Tenerence, I noticed that for the first two pages you created, you created them as a subpage in your user space, then created a separate page in the mainspace.

Feel free to delete them. | + | : Um... guess it's just poor planning on my part. Now that I think about it I could have used the sandbox. I used those pages as kind of a "rough draft".

Using Show Preview
Hello What-eez-it-stwong-bayad, 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.
