For those times when you don't want to spam a user's talk page but you'd still love to be able to get the message across, now there's LightPreview! With only half the carbs! ~ Krade 17:57, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)

  • Two thumbs up! Your mom, that is. Ho ho! No, seriously. I like this a lot. --Mister Six 18:16, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Hang on, what happened to the original, better one? --Mister Six 23:22, 27 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Don't bitch about Recent Changes, kthxplz.

Go to Special:Preferences, click on "Recent changes and stub display", and check the "Enhanced Recent Changes" box. Works in Mozilla, IE and Opera.

  • Enhanced recent changes is for nerds. Real men use "Show last 500 changes" and read through all of it. ~ Krade 14:20, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
    • We still need something like this because some newbies do make 20 edits to the same article. Preview light is a good idea I think.--WKD 20:50, 28 Jan 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Disclaimer

No. Fuck you, okay? These newcomers aren't going to figure it out on their own. I could understand if the Preview button were mentioned in {{welcome}}, but this template isn't about "biting" anyone. It's there so they'll notice that nice little, helpful button to the right of Save.

  • I'm tired of having to scroll down when I'm reading a fucking talk page. The original template was created to counter people who did 12 edits to the same article in a row. It stopped being ok when people started spamming it after a poor noob did three edits to a huge article. Don't you get the irony? YOU'RE SPAMMING TALK PAGES WITH THIS TEMPLATE. STOP IT. It's far more annoying than seeing three edits to the same article in Recent Changes. Again, if you care that much, use Enhanced Recent Changes. Plus, you still have the right to post this template on talk pages, but now they know how to tell you that you're just being a pussy. If someone REALLY fucks up, (and I mean fucking up like this), you can always use Template:OldPreview. Also, sign your comments. That one is in the welcome template. Oh, I just added the "preview before saving" to the welcome template. If you have any suggestions, you can post them on the talk page of Template:Welcome. ~ Krade hi yo~ 01:54, 29 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  • I did sign my comment. See below. :p --Bastardman 02:22, 29 Jan 2006 (UTC)

In sum: LOL wiki drama is lame. --Bastardman 23:41, 28 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Yes! Thank you, Jacknstock! --Bastardman 11:07, 30 Jan 2006 (UTC)
