Check your work before you save, using Preview

When you edit a page, you can use the Preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).

An even faster way to preview a page is with the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift+alt+P.

English varieties and other things edit

Hello, thanks for your copyedits at French Polynesia. However, please don't change English varieties per the relevant guidelines. Graham87 04:59, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Also, don't put hatnotes on already-disambiguated pages, as you did at Rachel Nichols (actress) and Rachel Nichols (journalist), or link to anchors, as you did at Teak, unless absolutely necessary. Graham87 09:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
