Long strings of minor edits
Hello. I notice you made a very long string of minor edits to 83Plus:Software:msd8x; perhaps you could use the preview function more next time to avoid cluttering the recent-changes page? Thanks. --Premchai21 13:05, 10 September 2006 (PDT)
- Yes, sorry. :( I'm new to Wikis. Brandonw
- I don't really think this is a valid complaint. Wikis are made to be edited a lot, and it's very easy to hide minor edits in the recent changes view if you're not interested in seeing them. (Though really some of those edits should not be marked as minor, especially the page creation). Even better, if you turn on "Enhanced recent changes" in your preferences, all of those edits will appear on a single line on the recent changes page and wont clutter up anything. --Dan Englender 13:47, 10 September 2006 (PDT)
To clarify, minor edits are generally used for typos, minor formatting changes, and other changes that don't really affect the content of the page. If you're adding or removing content (or especially creating a new page), that shouldn't be a minor edit. That said, I'm a fan of incrementally changing pages, and as mentioned above, the "enhanced recent changes" is nice for people who feel their recent changes page is too cluttered.
