Not editable

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

I can't speak for anyone else on the mod staff, but on my part, I have not yet approved your edit to Your Tomcat Is Pregnant because in addition to the actual change you intended to make, a great deal of white space between markup and text (which is desired for improved readability) has also been removed in it. (I would venture to guess that you were using the Visual Editor, which has been known to do unwanted and sometimes outright stupid things to articles being edited.) I personally hesitated to approve your edit because of the thought of having to undo all those unwanted changes immediately afterward.

Okey, I undestand, but is there any kind of editing that would keep my edits and not do unwanted things? For example, instead of visual editing, I would do the source edit.

The Source Editor has always been far better behaved in that regard, plus it gives you much finer control over your markup and edits. I've never seen it spontaneously screw up a page.

As far as your queued edit is concerned, if no one else on the staff has addressed it by this evening (Eastern US time), I will set aside the time to approve your edit then undo the visual editor's mess.

OK, thank you very much :)

Okay, I just did something kinda goofy to save me a lot of tedious work. I ended up approving your edit, then undoing it -- except for the change to the Bleach example. A little weird, but it worked.

One thing, though -- in the future please do not pothole works to character names. We've been undoing that kind of thing when we find it for close to ten years now because it makes the example impenetrable to someone who doesn't know the work in question, or knows more than one work that have characters with that name. A reader shouldn't have to mouseover a link to find out what work it's about -- it should be right there in the readable text.
