== New idea ==
== Show preview reminder ambiguity ==


Since we've been having so many people making constant mistakes and getting undone, I thought we should have a reminder message set like this:
Recently, there have been [[User talk:Mr. Fry|two]] [[User talk:Sm4shmeister|instances]] of users being given the show preview reminder and continuing to make mass edits (note that the first example the reminder was changed to sandbox later on). The second example seems to suggest that maybe the template is to ambiguous as to how the "show preview" button should be used (i.e to make all the edits you plan on making to the page in one go, using the preview as you go to check that everything is as it should). Maybe the wording should be changed to make it clearer what is meant by using the show preview button.

Just a reminder...[edit]

That this is here (see what I did there?). I have been using this for a month or so now and let me tell you all: it's dead useful. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:43, 8 November 2015 (EST)

This looks useful. Is there any way that you can make a "bump" reminder. It would say. Reminder: Bump. This still exists. Would that work? DekZek Dekzeksig.png 20:47, 8 November 2015 (EST)
Eh... less effort to type "Bump" really. Serpent SKSig.png King 20:49, 8 November 2015 (EST)

Not a huge issue, but I may do one pointing towards proper talk page usage in the future. Serpent SKSig.png King 04:33, 5 January 2016 (EST)

Show preview reminder ambiguity[edit]

Recently, there have been two instances of users being given the show preview reminder and continuing to make mass edits (note that the first example the reminder was changed to sandbox later on). The second example seems to suggest that maybe the template is to ambiguous as to how the "show preview" button should be used (i.e to make all the edits you plan on making to the page in one go, using the preview as you go to check that everything is as it should). Maybe the wording should be changed to make it clearer what is meant by using the show preview button. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 13:07, 25 July 2017 (EDT)
