Editing The Wiki

As of late, I've noticed a trend on the "Recent Changes" page of the wiki. Consecutive edits. A few are fine, but when you start approaching ten or more edits back-to-back, that's when you should just stop. There is a Preview button in the edit page for a reason. Use it people.
EDIT: The only exception to the above is when one is working on a template. ValthirAcolyte of the Dark Jedi Order Privateer of the Osk Company Assistant Squad Leader of Blackjack Squad ASL/SGT Valthir/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE TRN/Acolyte Valthir/Lopen/DJO/VE

I second the motion, although I'll also admit to being an offender myself, on occasion. Note to self, as much as to others: Preview and "this is a minor change" check box are your friends.

I agree with Val on this, the preview button is there to be used so use it! And if you're working on a huge project for the Wiki, don't make consecutive small edits because it can become irritating to people who are noticing over-use of the Edit button in one day. What I do when I know there's Wiki work to be done is wait a while so that I have a good amount of work and edit it then or work on the big project that I want to put up on the Wiki in Word if possible, with the coding included in my document so I can simply post it, preview the work to make sure it is posted as it should be and then finalize the edit after which I leave it alone.
It might sound like a pain, but it is quite simple and done rather quickly |

I must admit that I am most likely an offender of this. I did not know that there was a minor edit checkbox, so I apologize greatly. I'll have to remember next time I'm editing the wiki. SL|CoT:A/SFC Skarr/1SQD/2PLT/1COMP/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE [CDS] [ES2] {RES} (3.1) Norith Skarr

Problem for me is that my wiki is so large, I can't possibly edit it in a big page. Captain-"ish"

I was more our less referring to the 10 or more consecutive edits that I have been seeing lately. ValthirAcolyte of the Dark Jedi Order Privateer of the Osk Company Assistant Squad Leader of Blackjack Squad ASL/SGT Valthir/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/Tadath/VEA/VE TRN/Acolyte Valthir/Lopen/DJO/VE

Bump.
This is starting to become a trend again, and it makes life hard for us people who track what's happening on the wiki.
Luckystar brought up a good point in using Word (Google Docs and Notepad are alternatives) to finish a huge project on your computer before putting them in the wiki.
There is also a preview button.
