Summarizing your work

If you make anything other than a minor edit to an article, it helps to use the edit summary. Edit summaries are visible in the page history, watchlists, and on Recent changes, so they help other users keep track of what's happening to a page. If you use section editing, the summary box is filled in with the section heading by default (in gray text). You can also put links to articles in the edit summary - just put double brackets around [[the article title]] like you would normally. The summary is limited to 200 characters, so many people use common abbreviations, such as sp for correcting spelling mistakes.

Are NSwiki entries case sensitive? I'm just asking for the reason that I love things to be, Capitalized for some reason, and tend to turn many things into a proper noun. I created an entry regarding the Multiverse, realized there were entries linking to it, and went about Capitalizing the word Multiverse in all those entries. Anal retentive? Yes. While doing this though, in the page on Earth, I saw the couplet "fractal reality," and couldn't help but change it to "Fractal Reality." I did, but then the link wouldn't work! So I had to settle with "Fractal reality." Ahem. The point- Case sensitive NSwiki? --Fodian Federa 00:52, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

The first character of any NSwiki page is capitalized by default. Pages will link to the article regardless of whether it was linked in lower or upper case.

Beyond that, NSwiki IS case sensitive. One possible solution would be to make Fractal Reality a redirect page to Fractal reality. Another would be to use the | symbol in links to pipe link results to a differently capitalized page. → Frisbeeteria Θtalk

Sneak preview

While editing a page, you can use the show preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).
