When editing directly on the wiki, I like to save often, in case my browser crashes or freezes (lighter, less JS please) or in case of edit conflicts. In case of articles where I am essentially the primary editor, I might copy the text to my own local wiki on my computer and work locally. That way I can edit offline, its faster, I can have however much or little JS, can use the drafts extension, etc. Then, I can sync my changes once in a while with the wikipedia page, in a bigger edit Editing on a local wiki is newer for me. In the past, I have just copied article text to a local text file and simply work on editing the text file, then sync my edits. The text file approach still works perfectly fine and could use git to have revision control on text files. (would be neat to have more git-like functionality integrated w/ mediawiki and be able to do git push origin master of wiki articles) @aude > > Personally, I started out making lots of small edits, but lately I've > been the opposite of that. > > -MuZemike > > _______________________________________________ > WikiEN-l mailing list > WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
