Hello Prajoti naik, welcome to the multilingual Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

This wiki is the original Wikisource wiki, originally hosting works in many languages. The larger collections have been spawned into separate projects, leaving this wiki to serve as a central collaboration point, and as an environment where works without a language subdomain can be started. Refer to our languages list to see which languages still reside on this wiki. You can find a list of the separate language projects on the main page or here and you may want to look at the our coordination page for limitations on placing certain works on the separate language projects.

Most questions and discussions about the community are in the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!

Saving pages too frequently[edit]

Hello, Prajoti naik!

I noticed that you use saving of edited pages too often (for example, as you did for page Page:Konkani Viswakosh Vol2.pdf/515), and you save your text additions in small pieces. It looks like you make interim saves during editing. Please take in attention that interim savings is not welcomed by wiki-users and admins (and even may be regarded as disruptive actions in some wikis), because editing in this way causes flooding of the change log of the page being edited, and "Recent changes" log. So I recommend you to avoid interim saves, and change your editing manner of the proofread pages to use the "Save page" in following cases only:

  1. When you have completed typing the text of the page, and only corrections of the page can be expected in the future;
  2. When you haven't completed the typing but you realize that you are now forced to stop editing (e.g. when you should leave the computer for homework, or eat, or sleep, etc.), and it will be useful to save work for other editors;
  3. When the general typing of page text has been completed but you have found that some corrections (typos etc.) should be made (like this edit).

And please do not use saving in the same way as while editing a text document (in Notepad, Word etc) -- wiki's "Save page" button was not designed to be used in such manner! If you are afraid of loosing the work because of power outage or just forgetting to save timely -- then consider typing in a temporary text file on your computer and saving it locally (as frequently as you like and feel); and when the page is totally typed - then simply copy-paste the text from the file to the page on the wiki, and make a save on the wiki. --Nigmont (talk) 18:48, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
