When editing a wiki, there will come situations in which users may wish to make complex edits to a page, edits to multiple sections on a page, or otherwise make changes which users will be tempted to implement in multiple edits. However, all edits made to a page, even multiple small edits made to the same page in succession, are listed on the [[Special:RecentChanges| | When editing a wiki, there will come situations in which users may wish to make complex edits to a page, edits to multiple sections on a page, or otherwise make changes which users will be tempted to implement in multiple edits. However, all edits made to a page, even multiple small edits made to the same page in succession, are listed on the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] page. As a result, when users make multiple small edits to a page in succession, it becomes very easy for these edits to clog the recent changes page, making edits harder to sift through. It also makes checking the overall changes made to the page more time consuming, by requiring users to navigate the page's history and compare multiple revisions, rather than simply using the diff tool on the edit's recent changes entry. | ||
