Quoting from Groink:
I'm BEGGING you people!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, pretty please (notice I said "please").... When you edit articles, please use the "Show preview" button before clicking that "Save page" button. By constantly clicking "Save page" over and over and over again on the same article, you're basically making a mess out of the "Recent changes" log, which several of us use to monitor changes made to the articles. It also makes a mess out of the History page on the article.
At the very least, if you do make a change that is very minor (really hard to define "minor" in just one sentence), enable the "This is a minor edit" option on the edit page. Then this way we can use the hide minor edits feature in the log.
Thanks! And keep up on the edits!

Few notes on images
First off, using the <div></div> for images is no longer necessary. We used to use this in an earlier release of MediaWiki, but the currently version we use has better image management. Second, as long as an image is 250px or less, you do not need to use the thumb parameter. Instead, you should use the frame parameter, such as [[image:the_image.jpg|frame|right|Description]]. Using thumb when no scaling is involved wastes CPU cycles on the server. Groink 04:48, 10 Apr 2007 (CDT)
