Learn to use the show preview button

Hey man, saw your recent edits on Portal: Still Alive. First, never add {{Software page}} to a page unless it has a Software cover and screenshots. Second, spamming Special:RecentChanges with edits is not cool. Next to the Save Changes button is a Show Preview button which will show the page with the edits you make, without actually publishing it. Not only does constantly saving changes make it incredibly annoying for anyone else wanting to edit the page, but it is also incredibly slow and inefficient, so please use the show preview button.

Also, its a bad practice to copy paste a software page template from one page to another in progress page, as you get artifacts like this --Equalizer5118 (talk) 18:22, 6 Nov 2023

Do not do that again

(using Template:Message) Usually when doing experimental changes to a template, just make them to the actual template and revert them if they break something. Do NOT create an entire new template for small changes like that! If we did that normally, then this entire wiki would be filled with a thousand more useless candidates for deletion. Equalizer, I see what you are writing here, I would also write to him about this. But it seems that no changes are coming; the endless bout of garbage edits is still repeated.
ThePootinator, maybe you should understand a little about how Wikipedia works, how to make edits, and so on, especially if you contact various mechanics (in this case, templates) --NOUG4AT (talk) 15:41, 25 Nov 2023 --Equalizer5118 (talk) 15:07, 25 Nov 2023 (UTC)

STOP YOUR INVASION

Hey, you've just messed up a frequently used template, which is not cool. Equalizer5118 also provided you with recommendations, but it seems you're not following them. Please, if your edits have caused the template to stop working, undo all of them. Others shouldn't have to do this for you. --NOUG4AT (talk) 15:50, 29 Feb 2024
