Hello, {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>PAGENAME}}, 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 [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] and page histories from being flooded.

Hi there!
Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
- Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Please sign in, if you haven't already, and create a user name! It's free, and it'll help you keep track of all your edits. See Help:Why create an account for more info on creating an account.
- Questions? You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!
- Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.
I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
Archives and Sigs and stuff
I'm just going to assume that you are very new here, regardless of when you actually created your account. A few basic things you should know involve archives and signatures. When you sign, type out ~~~~. This gives us a proper link to your user page and stuff like that. Do not manually type out the signature. As for archives, don't edit archives unless it has some recent discussion on it. Even then, you generally shouldn't edit the archive unless the discussion was actually important. MegaTron1XD

Using Show Preview
Hello, Toadat9021doh, 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. Thanks, RickTommy (talk) 19:00, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
