Just a little tip when making/editing a big portion on the wiki

Use your blog!  I've recently made a good sized page, and it took me a couple days.  If I try to copy paste from Word, WordPad, Notepad, they always seem to mess up the formatting and such I've tried to put in there.  I used my screened profile blog to save it step by step, put the pictures in there with their locations, headers, italics, bolds, and all those wonderful things we never really seem to have no problems with. 
 
So yea, when taking on a large article, use your blog!  It helps with the formatting and really cuts down on the editing and such.  When you're done, just copy and paste it all, and you should be good to go.   
 
Cheers mate.

That is sheer genius. Nice idea bro. Is there a way to make the blog post private though or make drafts, so that others could not steal your work?

So it won't get all wonky and crap if you copy and paste from your blog? Interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind.

I just always leave a tab open. Even when I turn my computer off, I'll just put it on stand by and keep the page I'm editing always opened in a different tab.

Thanks for the heads-up! This may come in useful. I've been working on the Time Crisis 3 page and the formatting isn't great on it..

Thats a pretty neat tip. I always use word/pad, thanks for the heads up though :D

I've always used my "About Me" as a sandbox.

I imagine I'll likely use this idea, with the Guides system. Admittedly I won't be able to add different sections as such, but headers will do just perfectly. Thanks for the tip Matthew, but I'll change it slightly for my own uses, if you don't mind ;)

That sounds like a horrible idea. So when you decide to post your work, all edits done to the page meanwhile by other users will be overwritten...? "

Good tip, I felt bad for changing little errors I made since someone would have to take time to look it over

Not a bad idea although I must say when I've been copying and pasting from Word into Firefox I haven't run into any problems with formatting, I did have that issue back when I used Internet Explorer though.
