Shaman Updates
In updating a shaman page, it is possible to make all the necessary changes in a single edit, using the 'show preview' button to check your changes before saving. I begin by moving the last current sighting to the top of the previous sightings, and then edit the current sighting (gps coordinates, time and date) to reflect the new current sighting. Preview to check and then save. Three edits clutter the history of the individual wiki page, and the recent changes list for the Wiki. Please try not to make more edits than you need to. --Johan Crichton 07:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
