Signature

Hi there MarioL369! I just wanted to let you know that the 5★ Goo Tuber badge in your signature is too large. The signature guidelines state that signatures cannot include anything larger than 30 pixels in height. The badge is 35 pixels, so please change that when you get a chance. Thanks!

Can do, thanks for telling me before I made a mistake with it! S3 Badge Goo Tuber 5.png Mario369 Talk Contributions MarioL369 (talk) 13:42, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Use Show Preview

Hello. Thanks for your recent edits on List of Splatoon 2 Splatfest team names. One thing I will suggest you use is the button marked as "Show Preview" next to "Save Changes". This allows you to see what a page will look like with the changes you've made, without actually committing them as changes. This is useful to avoid small, frequent additions to pages and helps administration and the site host out dramatically. If you have any questions on how to use this tool, feel free to ask.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have always used "Show Preview" button to view my edits before I save them, and I believe I have been using the "Show Preview While Editing" and "Show Preview Without Reloading Page" settings in the editing section of preferences.
Although I had these settings active and available to me when I had been editing, I had discovered that the fastest way to bold the matching genre for Headgear in List of Splatoon 2 Splatfest team names was to go and use "source edit" to find all matching genres and bold them via matching text. However, I noticed that this would bold much more than what I would want. My quick-and-easy solution to this problem was to edit each subsection, so that the matching text search would only bold what I wanted. This led to, as you mentioned in your message, a very large amount of small edits very quickly.
I'm sorry that I had made this mistake. I promise that I will avoid constant small edits by finding ways to make larger edits possible in smaller quantities.
