We have recently switched to using [[w:Wikipedia:Subpages|subpages]] for articles, so they fall into a hierarchical structure under the appropriate volumes. This should not really be an issue in your editing, but I just wanted to mention it in case you saw older articles that did not follow the same naming scheme. All articles assigned to volunteer editors will use the subpage structure. | We have recently switched to using [[w:Wikipedia:Subpages|subpages]] for articles, so they fall into a hierarchical structure under the appropriate volumes.

=== Preview and Save === | |||
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. Before you save, make a note in the “Summary” box explaining your additions or edits. This can be helpful to other editors if they have to fix or find something. Uncheck the “This is a minor edit” if you did more than fix a typo or change a couple of smaller items. | |||
