As an aside, the best way to move a page to fix a title is not to copy it all and create a new entry then make the other a redirect, but rather to actually use the 'move' button at the top of the page. That will ensure that the edit history is properly carried over, etc too. -- Sulfur 20:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Editing Sections of Pages
When you know that you're going to be editing a number of subsections of a page, such as David Gerrold, it's often best to simply edit the over-arching section, or the entire page, and thus covering all of the edits in one save to the database as opposed to several separate saves. -- Sulfur 20:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
