Hello Inthar, <br>

To understand what I am talking about, please first have a look at [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=5L_3s&offset=&limit=100&action=history the history of "5L 3s"].

I would like to ask you to reconsider your editing style. To do this, it might help to think of saving a change as ''publishing'' (which it actually is) rather than as a step to save an intermediate state. There are people (like me) who review every single edit on this wiki, for whom such mass micro-edits are a real burden. There is also the preview function to make sure that something technically new is reflected as intended on the finished page. Personally, it always helps me a lot to think about how I would describe what I plan to do, then make the change, and then review the change(s) to write a summary that comprehensively describes my action(s). This leads (mostly, except for trivial formal adjustments, ... and apart from occasional accidents) to a frequency of changes that is acceptable to my peers.

Please do not be angry with me about my criticism! And if there is a compelling reason for you to work this way, please let me know so I can understand. Thanks in advance! --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 08:39, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
