	This is especially important if you think you may be making other edits on the page. It is a good idea to just Save once, to keep the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Page history\|page history]] uncluttered. Saving less often is also a way of avoiding [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit conflict\|edit conflict]]s, which occur when two editors try to change a page at the same time. However, when you change large amounts of text you should consider doing this in successive steps (e.g. one paragraph at a time) so that others can follow your edits easily.

	The only other important thing to remember is: save your preview before moving on. A common mistake is to click to the preview page, read through it, and then click on through to other pages and forget to ever go back and save your changes. Certainly you should click through links you've added to make sure they go where you expect, but click Back immediately, and save your original edit.

Certainly you should click through links you've added to make sure they go where you expect, but click Back immediately, and save your original edit (this doesn't work on Internet Explorer 6, because when you come back, you loose all your change). A better way to check your links is to right click on the link, and choose "open in a new window" or "open in a new tab". All the change will remain on the primary window.

			The human oracle who in is the first show ([[Occupation]]) of Season 3 tells the Cylon D'anna Bierrs that [[Hera]], the half-human, half-Cylon offspring of Helo and Caprica-Sharon did not die shortly after birth, as was generally thought, but indeed lives somewhere among the humans on New Caprica.

	Before you hit Save, it's considered good practice to enter a very brief summary of your changes in the "[[Wikipedia:Edit summary\|Edit summary]]" box between the edit window and the Save and Preview buttons. It can be quite terse; for example if you just enter "typo," people will know you made a minor spelling or punctuation correction, or some other small change. Keep in mind that people '''do''' read these (so don't assume that it won't be noticed), but not everybody reads them. So if you need to be sure somebody sees something make sure to leave it on the appropriate discussion page.
