Converting to automated taxoboxes edit

Hi, it's good to see edits like this one, but do please leave an edit summary. I generally say "Use Speciesbox for consistent taxonomy". Peter coxhead (talk) 10:02, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Yeah, sorry about those. I was a bit worried about not having written them, too. It was a mistake on my part, I did try to remember to write something to later edits. It's easy to forget to add an edit summary, as after making the changes I want to look at the preview, but to do so I must press publish changes. Then there is the box to write the summary and the link to preview. If I press the preview first and all looks good, I still have to remember to go back to the summary box and not press publish immediately. Took the visual editor off now (was unable to even edit this, the blue bar just got stuck) and added the option to prompt me about blank summaries. I'll do better in the future.

Do as I say and not as I do applies; I don't always remember. :-) Peter coxhead (talk) 20:47, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
