Hello, and welcome to the wiki. :) I noticed you've been making pretty many edits in a short time. You should really try using that Preview function before you save the changes, thank you. Mediggo 08:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for tip. Just struggling with all,lol. How do i message you? and or have a private sandbox to play besides preview?;© Master Xru 08:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- There's no truly private area here on wiki. It's ok to make any changes to pages under your username, but you should make the edits as minor edit in the edit window, and try to preview the edit as many times as needed instead of saving the page over and over again. That will just make recent changes log I mentioned above clogged and article history of the edited page a mess. You can message another user on their talk apge (such as User_Talk:Mediggo), but if somebody messages you on your userpage there's usually little point splitting one discussion over multiple pages. So reply on the same talk page, and only start new threads on other page, preferably on a talk page related to matter you wish to discuss. Mediggo 08:47, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- ok , learning. See if i get some things going this week. Is there a lock to set on a page to prevent edit like a signature page? and should i delete these too many safes i did? Thanks for your aid. © Master Xru 08:54, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- If there's a page under your username you no longer need you can tag it for deletion with {{delete|user request|speedy}} (speedy is for not used for mainspace articles which have content). Only admins can protect pages, so it's nothing a user can do, and they only protect pages which are frequently targeted by vandals or otherwise very important pages like the main page. So if you were looking to protect a single page or your own userpage from others' edits, that's not possible. :) You're welcome, don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

- Hi, Xru--following what Mediggo said, there's no way or real need to lock pages in general. Should someone disrupt your signature or should you want to return to an earlier time, you can use the revert function by going into the history tab and undoing the edit. No need or real way to 'delete' saves--what happens is cumulative; just fix what you can or ask for help. I might also suggest going My Preferences (upper right) --> Editing --> Mark all edits as minor, especially if you're going to be doing a lot of construction work on your own personal pages/sandbox/signature. That way you can easily separate your own edits out from the content edits that are more in need to have an eye kept out on them. Hope this helps; welcome to the wiki.

- Even with Minor Edits selected, you should try to limit things before it becomes...
09:31 User:Xru/signature (38 changes | hist) . . (+308) . . [Xru (38×)]- 38? Really?
- I hope ya stick around, I hope ya become a part of the community, I hope you feel comfortable asking for help if you need it. But the above is a tad extreme. It's also exactly what the
[Show preview]button is for. Using it will show you an updated version of your signature, without disrupting the rest of the wiki. Then you can save the finished product when you're happy with how it looks.

- It happens; just remember that show preview is your friend. It becomes much friendlier when you learn that pressing Alt+P is the keyboard shortcut for it and your editing flow becomes just that much smoother. Cheers. :) Redshift 18:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
