As you make changes, get into the habit of pushing the “Show preview” button at the bottom of your editor. You should '''not''' save every little edit, as this taxes the system: '''every single edit''' is stored in the article’s history, so we want to keep these to a minimum. Once you have added a significant amount—maybe a couple of paragraphs or so—you can hit the blue “Save changes” button if the preview looks good.
