As part of a big cleanup, 2,000 inactive accounts have been deleted. Those accounts were never used for anything. Most of them had rather dubious names, normally created by spambots. The total number of users is now {{NUMBEROFUSERS}}. | |||
In order to keep the wiki database clean and small, it's important that all editors try to apply the following tips as much as possible: | |||
* Limit the number of edits. One edit containing a big edit is better than several smaller edits (to one article). Every time someone saves an edit, the entire article is saved in history and thus the database. The following tips can help you minimise your edit count: | |||
** Do not edit an article on a per-section base (by clicking the <nowiki>[edit]</nowiki> link next to a header). If you would like to make edits in multiple sections of the same article, simply edit the entire article by cliking the Edit button at the top of the page. | |||
** Preview your edit(s) before saving, by clicking the preview button. Especially check for red links to non existing articles (usually the result of typos). | |||
