Add topicPreview Button[edit source]
I do not intend to be all super negative rain-on-your-parade-y or anything. I don't want to make you think for even one second that I don't appreciate your contributions. I do, however, have a small request in the form of a piece of advice.
Please make use of the "Show Preview" button when editing. Even when they're all marked minor, a dozen serial edits to the same article unnecessarily clutters the wiki (especially for those of us trying to keep up on the latest goings on). Use the Preview to make sure your stuff is good, and then save. Once. We all make mistakes of course, I only bring it up because it is a strong pattern in recent weeks.
Thanks, and happy editing. Donsheldon 13:23, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
