These sort of editors make an edit and then realize [[Proximal Error Probability|they didn't do what they wanted to]], that they could have put something better, or that there's something more to be said. <ref>Or they misspelled something, or they see that someone else has misspelled something, or one or more works haven't been moved to their proper [[Namespace|Namespaces]]s, etc.</ref> So they make another edit. And another, and another, and another, until it's finally perfect -- orperfect—or the server breaks, or sanity is lost, whichever comes first.
 
[[Save Scumming|While practical,]] this type of edit fills up the page history with garbage edits, which often becomes annoying. We have a Preview feature -- youfeature—you can do the testing before entering your edit, so be sure to do so. You can also play around with different kinds of markup in the [[Wiki Sandbox]].
 
In [[Fora]], this often produces an ominous, suspicious looking "post edited by author on ??/??/???? ??:??:??" message. Sadly, this site's forum does not have a preview feature, so use of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=00000000000000000000001j the sandbox forum] is necessary for spotless markup-heavy posts.
