Preview Button
Hello. If you could, please, use the "Show preview" button. It is located right next to the "Save page" button. It allows you to see what the page would look like without actually saving it. By doing this, you cut down on the wear-and-tear on the database and keep the Recent Changes page a bit cleaner. Thanks! Willie LLAP 23:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Multiple Edits
As said above, you might want to really consider using the Show Preview button to help you with your edits. This reduces the database load and makes things easier for everyone. Thanks.--31dot 23:52, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
