Preview Button 
Edit
Hi, Arkremling. Just letting you know that, when editing, you should use the "Show Preview" button as often as possible to avoid making constant edits on a page. Constantly editing floods the recent changes and puts an unnecessary load on the database. You can find the "show preview" button located next to the "save page" button. Thanks, and welcome to Memory Alpha! :) – Tom 15:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Summary Box Edit
Hi there. Wecome to the site. Just a quick note to remind you that when you're doing an edit, try to remember to fill in the 'Summary' box. This can be very handy for other users. When you're editing a specific section on a page (like 'Background Information' or 'Memorable Quotes') the box automatically fills in the section title, and you can add to it with a more specific description if you wish, but when you edit the page as the whole, the box is left blank, so it's important to indicate what you've done. Your last edit for example you could have simply written 'Grammatical changes to summary', or something along those lines. It's no biggie really, it's just for handiness sake for other users. So there you go, and again, welcome to the site – Bertaut talk 03:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
