Verify information before editing.
Please verify information before editing as I’ve had to revert a few edits because you changed information incorrectly. This was probably a mistake so I’m just warning you as if it keeps happening you may be banned. —iAdam1n (talk) 15:51, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Minimise Edits
- Please minimise your edits where possible to avoid spamming Recent Changes. When editing pages like your Beta Upgrading Project, I suggest saving to your computer in a txt file until you are done for that time and then make one edit instead of multiple. --iAdam1n (talk) 06:32, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- I also try to reduce editing. If I don't, you can also change the namespace in recent changes to "(main)". Actually, I am editing on this wiki, and in order to make a system version history table (this version history page may be submitted to the "macOS" topic on this wiki in the near future), I also need to prevent the cell problem of the table when making the table (because there is no visual editing at present, only the source code editing, so the cell problem may occur), so I moved here to edit. --小美粉粉 (talk) 06:59, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- You can preview changes before submitting so you can see what it’d look like. I’m aware that it can be hidden but it still shows by default to everyone (as well as having to mark each edit as patrolled). —-iAdam1n (talk) 07:09, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Questionable contribution quality
Hi there! After taking a look at some of your contributions, there are some concerns about their quality.
- While minor edits like spelling/grammar fixes are always welcome, there have been some edits that were made one right after the other. I'd like to make sure you are aware that MediaWiki provides a "Show preview" button that lets you preview whatever changes you are making to a wiki page, without making the revision permanent. This is very useful if you're working with some markup, but you want to make sure it's not broken.
- If you are proofreading a page and are constantly making minor edits every 30 seconds or whatever, it would be a better idea to simply make the edit in the markup and continue onward, and save the changes after you finish proofreading.
- Links should always point to a final, non-redirecting page. While editing links to point to redirecting pages can make the markup look prettier, if the destination page is reloaded, a double-redirect will form and the user might not be sent over to the page they should be viewing.
- While we tend to take a more lax approach to user pages, the wiki should not be used to save personal notes or to play around with MediaWiki. Personal notes should be saved elsewhere; if there is something you wish to test out with MediaWiki, you may want to consider locating a free host that offers PHP and MySQL support and set up a sandbox MediaWiki installation.
- User:小美粉粉/vector.css was created as a blank page for no apparent reason.
Please keep these points in mind to ensure your contributions won't have their quality questioned. Thanks! --Dialexio (talk) 05:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- I have also warned about this on preview occasions with talk topics and the email in which you sent upon the previous ban. You were also warned about removing content (talk topics being the latest which must remain or at least be added to an archive page on your talk page). Making numerous pointless edits spams Recent Changes as well as causing more work than necessary to admins to mark the edits as patrolled. Next time any of these things occurs, you will be banned. As Dialexio said, you should preview edits before submitting. --iAdam1n (talk) 11:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
