Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 10:53, 1 May 2017 (UTC) | Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to.

:Cheers! Appreciate the advice! The only reason I edited a page several times rather than all in one shot was that I feared that I wouldn't be able to revert the page in case I accidentally broke a part of it since I'm not too used to the editing features of Bulbapedia. But all in all, thanks for the advice on how to improve editing![[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 11:22, 1 May 2017 (UTC) | :Cheers! Appreciate the advice!

::Again, please make use of the preview button. If you do, there's no need to save a page multiple times just to "[[Special:Diff/2637531|test]]" something out first, and you should also be able to avoid simple mistakes like with Sawsbuck [[Special:Diff/2637538|here]]. | |||
::As for being worried about breaking something and somehow not being ablel to revert it, if you're using preview, then you should be noticing when something is broken and ''not'' saving that, so that shouldn't really be a worry. This is exactly what previewing is for. | |||
::If you learn to use the preview button well, you shouldn't need to save nearly half as much. (Just in case, remember that this also includes being able to edit the whole page instead of only individual sections.)
